Land, Place, Identity: Inaugural Symposium on American Art: Day 1

PAAM presents a weekend-long gathering of art historians, artists, and curators whose work converges around art’s relationship to land and place.

With a particular emphasis on art forms and scholarship that expand beyond western art-historical frameworks, presentation topics include: the advancement of Native art and sovereignty through making, curation, and sustainability practices; Kerry James Marshall and the Black landscape tradition; Seong Moy’s abstracted Outer Cape landscapes; and a collaborative public art project contending with Boston’s urban infrastructure as it intersects with Black histories of displacement and liberation.

Today’s program:
