Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw, Black Girl’s Window: Re-Framing Contemporary Reparative Artistic Practices

Kleinman Center, Fisher Fine Arts Library, Room 414

This illustrated lecture considers work by African American artists that mobilize windows as a vessel through which to imagine new modes of seeing and coming into visibility. It will examine paintings, assemblage sculptures, and stained glass that transform domestic, educational, and spiritual architecture into spaces of contemplation and community.
