Today I spent 3 hours at a very informative panel discussion at the South-side Community Arts Center and today's panel was titled "Preserving a Legacy: A " How To" on African American Art Collecting. Panelist included Kimberly M. Harmon, Archie Listenbee, and Patric McCoy.
Next week May 12th panel is titled, Look Within - Collective Origins and Inspirations: Women and African Art. Panelist are Dr. Robert Starks (Chicago/Mississippi), Dayo Layoe (Nigeria), Diabby Diarra (Mali), and Patrick Woodtor (Liberia). In Conjunction with SSCAC's current show of African artifacts, Shona sculpture and other works, join a distinguish panel of artists, educator and cultural leaders to discuss the presence of feminine ideas and imagery in art from Africa and by African artists. Below is a preview of some of the wonderful art that will be on display. Enjoy:>)
