Women’s History Artist Panel Talk – In Person

Thursday, March 23, 2023 | 6 pm

Panel talk begins at 6:30 pm

Free Admission

Join the Reginald F. Lewis Museum celebrating Black women, their imagery and experiences through the visionary artistic lens of the women exhibition artists from Afro-Futurist Manifesto: Blackness Reimagined (March 2, 2023 through September 5, 2023). During this panel discussion, artists will explore the future of Black women, how they envision the bodies of Black women, mothering, and confronting stereotype imagery of Black young women. This panel conversation features artists Tawny Chatmon, Monica Ikegwu, and Delita Martin and will be moderated by Myrtis Bedolla of Galerie Myrtis, originating curator “Afro-Futurist Manifesto.” This groundbreaking exhibition brings together a stellar assemblage of African-American Artists who construct a future forged in transatlantic links and Afrofuturism’s ideology to expand the notion of Blackness at the intersection of technology and liberation.

** Come early at 6 pm to view the Afro-Futurist Manifesto exhibition with special guests.
