Talks at the Schomburg: Carole Byard, the Rent Series, and Beyond

'+Schomburg Center celebrates the work of visual artist Carole Byard with a conversation addressing her “Rent Series.” The program centers on Byard’s discovery--after her father’s death--of a cache of rent receipts he’d kept in his life-long efforts to provide housing for their family, always struggling to do so. In the early 1980s, Byard set about to reimagine her father efforts in a series of images which she titled “Rent.” Listen to Byard’s peers discuss her work.'
