Join the Fowler for a one-day conference led by exhibition co-curators Jerry Philogene and Katherine Smith.
This symposium accompanies the Fowler exhibition Myrlande Constant: The Work of Radiance, the first museum retrospective of a contemporary Haitian female artist who has been creating groundbreaking work for 30 years. With the goal of bringing breadth and depth to Constant’s ouevre and recognizing her impact on contemporary art, each speaker will focus on a single textile in the exhibition, highlighting such themes as race and representation, political resistance, labor, gender, and aesthetics. Speakers will include Kyrah Malika Daniels, assistant professor of African American studies at Emory University, and Gina Athena Ulysse, professor of feminist studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz, among others.
The symposium will take place at the Fowler and allow ample time to view the works in person and converse before them in the galleries.
