    Explore Elizabeth Catlett's influence with curator Humberto Moro. SCAD Group exhibition 'ELIZABETH CATLETT: POINTS OF CONTACT' SEPT. 23, 2021 - JAN. 30, 2022 Presented in the SCAD Museum of Art's Evans Center for African American Studies, Elizabeth Catlett: Points of Contact is a long overdue exploration of the artist's profound influence on artistic practice today. The group exhibition brings to view key prints and sculptures by Catlett (1915–2012) — a citizen of both the U.S. and Mexico — in conversation with contemporary works by living artists from both countries. In showcasing the work of contemporary Black American and Mexican artists with strong connections — sometimes direct references — to Catlett's work, the exhibition demonstrates how the artist's influences, concerns, and questions are very much alive in global contemporary culture and artistic practice, and highlights the ways in which her works advocate for the dignity of all humans.

    'Ruth E. Carter: Afrofuturism in Costume Design' Award-winning costume designer Ruth E. Carter is an expert storyteller who harnesses the power of visual communication to share vital narratives exploring culture, race, and politics. Creating costumes for generation- defining films like Black Panther, Selma, and Do the Right Thing, she brings vibrancy, nuance, color, and texture to each of her culture-shifting characters. SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film in Atlanta has more than 60 costumes by Carter currently on view through September 12, as well as sketches and ephemera illustrating the designer’s in-depth historical research and creative process for each project.   The Ruth E. Carter: Afrofuturism in Costume Design exhibition at SCAD FASH features unforgettable designs from nearly four decades of her career within an Afrofuturistic installation incorporating original artwork by SCAD illustration alumnus Brandon Sadler, whose work was prominently featured in Black Panther. Inspired by African masks and Nigerian textiles, Sadler’s work for the exhibition connects Carter’s celebrated costume designs across various time periods and themes within the overarching concept of Afrofuturism. For more information on the exhibition and to plan your visit, go to scadfash.org.  On Wednesday March 24 at 6pm, Ruth E. Carter will participate in the university's signature annual event titled SCADstyle.

    Independent curator, Faron Manuel and Jamaal Barber of Studio Noize Podcast interview Frank Mitchell, curator of the exhibition Afrocosmologies: American Reflections at Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art for this episode of BAIA Talks. Afrocosmologies: American Reflections October 19, 2019 – January 20, 2020 Black artists explore spirituality and culture in Afrocosmologies: American Reflections. Alongside artists of the late-nineteenth century, contemporary artists define new ideas about spirituality, identity, and the environment in ways that move beyond traditional narratives of Black Christianity. In dialogue, these works acknowledge a continuing body of beliefs—a cosmology—that incorporates the centrality of nature, ritual, and relationships between the human and the divine. Emerging from the rich religious and aesthetic traditions of West Africa and the Americas, these works present a dynamic cosmos of influences that shape Contemporary art. The exhibition brings together the work of an incredible assortment of artists including Romare Bearden, Dawoud Bey, Elizabeth Catlett, Willie Cole, Melvin Edwards, Titus Kaphar, Lois Mailou Jones, Kerry James Marshall, Alison Saar, Hale Woodruff, Shinique Smith, and Kehinde Wiley along with many additional artists of note. It is accompanied by a 156-page, fully illustrated catalogue with essays by Frank Mitchell, Berrisford Boothe, Claudia Highbaugh, and Kristin Hass.

    Najee Dorsey in conversation with Nelson Stevens. Nelson received a BFA degree from Ohio University and MFA degree from Kent State University. Early in his training, he found himself in the position of having to prove to his professors in the Art Department that there is in fact such a thing as “Black Art." Asserting that prejudice did indeed exist in the art world, he refuted the popular “art for art sake" paradigm, insisting instead that “art is for the sake of people." Nelson Stevens taught for over 30 years both in the Art Department and the Department of Afro-American Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He has always advocated for and promoted aesthetic integrity within the Black community, catapulting numerous groundbreaking projects that are rooted in a strong philosophy concerning the cultural currency of African Americans. His signature style, which applies bold color, unexpected lines, and unabashed tributes to historical and contemporary iconic figures, is well known to many. Stevens was an early member of the pioneering Chicago organization AFRICOBRA along with other renowned artists such as Wadsworth Jarrell, Jeff Donaldson and Adger Cowans. Nelson Stevens" work may be found in many private and public collections including the Smithsonian, Schomberg's Library and Research Center in New York City, and the Chicago Institute of Art, among others. His widely acclaimed project, “Art in the Service of the Lord" commissioned African American artists to create sacred works for a Black Christian Fine Arts Calendar that existed for four years and circulated 15,000 copies annually.

    BAIA Talks - Shantay Robinson & the Message Behind Murals

    As an act of resistance against brutal law enforcement upon black and brown bodies, artists have taken to public art to express their contempt. On walls around the world, you can find murals dedicated to the lives of fallen civilians who were victims of police brutality. These murals, in public spaces, allow the message of injustices to reach audiences who might not read newspaper editorials, attend community town hall meetings, or march at rallies about the issue. A mural for Sandra Bland was erected in Ontario Canada, one for Trayvon Martin in Brooklyn New York, and one for Eric Garner in St. Louis. While each of these murals was painted in cities other than those communities where the victims lived or lost their lives, they were created to espouse a sense of solidarity amongst communities and convey the idea that we are all in this together.
