NoCal | Tour of ‘Elegies: Still Lifes in Contemporary Art’ at the Museum of the African Diaspora, with Monique Long
July 17, 2022 | 4:00 pm
Join curator Monique Long for a tour of Elegies: Still Lifes in Contemporary Art, an exhibition that brings together an international group of artists who have disrupted or extended the traditional presentation of still lifes. The artists have appropriated the genre in order to create works within a framework of Black diasporic identities, histories, and collective experiences. Their works are expressed through various mediums including painting, photography, sculpture, printmaking, performance, and installation. A central discourse in this exhibition considers Blackness in relation to the question, “How does an artist create work about the body without the body being present?”
After the tour, join us for no-host drinks at Delarosa.
Admission:
- ArtTable Members – $15
- Member Guests/Non-Members – $25
