Land, Place, Identity: Inaugural Symposium on American Art: Day 2

November 10 @ 10:00 am 12:00 pm

Ross Moffett (1888-1971), Clamdiggers Fleet, n.d., 30 x 40 inches, Gift of Dr. & Mrs. Henry Fogelman, 1991

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:

10am – 12pm Panel presentations & moderated discussion: Asia Adomanis, crystal am nelson, LaRissa Rogers.
