“Self-Taught Artists and the National Identity” with Katherine Jentleson, PhD
Thursday, September 12, 5:30-6:30 PM
Black Box Theater, Zoellner Arts Center
Public Reception to Follow, 6:30-8:00 PM
LUAG Main & Lower Galleries, Zoellner Arts Center
LUAG is proud to host the traveling exhibition, Really Free: The Radical Art of Nellie Mae Rowe, curated by Katherine Jentleson PhD., the Merrie and Dan Boone Curator of Folk and Self-Taught Art at the High Museum of Art, Atlanta. In her discussion, Katherine will present Rowe’s practice in the context of developments that shaped the United States’ social climate, both nationally and locally, during a lifetime that spanned most of the twentieth century. These include the influence of the US civil rights movement of the 1960s, the rise of the Feminist movement, the disruptions of predatory urban expansion and Black removal, all consciously referenced and transmuted into the endogenous spiritual home ground of her art.
