Harlem and the Kamoinge Workshop

'Artists Anthony Barboza, C. Daniel Dawson, and Shawn Walker discuss the importance of Harlem in the development of their work and as the ground for the Kamoinge Workshop. In sharing their individual practices, they will reflect on Kamoinge’s role in the Black Arts movement as well as their efforts to preserve and share this history in their work. This event is moderated by Tanisha C. Ford, writer, cultural critic, and professor of history at the Graduate Center, CUNY. Ford is a co-founder of TEXTURES, a pop-up material culture lab creating and curating content on Black design, material life, and the built environment. She also co-edited, with Deborah Willis, Kwame Brathwaite: Black is Beautiful (Aperture 2019).'
