Join the David C. Driskell Center for the Study of the Visual Arts and Culture of African Americans and the African Diaspora at the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for a special conversation with artist Amy Sherald.
Through her portraits, Amy Sherald explores the ways people construct and perform their identities in response to political, social, and cultural expectations. Her work offers a critical view of African American cultural history and the representation of the African American body. Known for using a grayscale palette to paint skin tones, Sherald challenges the concept of color-as-race. Sherald will be in conversation with Dorothy Kosinski, Director of The Phillips Collection. This event is free. Limited capacity. Tickets are required.
Any additional tickets will be made available online as of 5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 28th, exclusively through the Phillips Collections' website here. Please contact the The Phillips Collection directly with questions regarding ticketing.
