Margaret and Terry Stent Distinguished Conversation in American Art

From the venue:

Join us for the Margaret and Terry Stent Distinguished Conversation in American Art as we reexamine the High Museum of Art’s American Art collection. Exploring the work of the nineteenth century Black and Indigenous sculptor Edmonia Lewis, this program features Anni Pullagura, Margaret and Terry Stent Associate Curator of American Art at the High in conversation with Shawnya Harris, Larry D. and Brenda A. Thompson Curator of African American and African Diasporic Art at the Georgia Museum of Art, and Caitlin Meehye Beach, Associate Professor of Art History at CUNY Graduate Center. This timely discussion will deepen thinking around Lewis’s artistic practice and her presence in nineteenth century American sculpture, while considering how to tell more thoughtful stories about historic American art.
