Virtual | Artist Conversation with Ambrose Rhapsody Murray and Isis Davis-Marks
May 3, 2022 | 6:00 pm
3pm PT / 4pm MT / 5pm CT / 6pm ET
Please join us for a virtual Artist Conversation with Ambrose Murray
and New York-based freelance writer and artist, Isis Davis-Marks.
Ambrose Rhapsody Murray was born in September in Jacksonville, Florida, child of a creative writer and bluegrass musician. Raised up in the mountains of Western North Carolina, you may have found a young Ambrose in the forest assembling fairy houses out of bark and moss. Through sewing, painting, collage and material experimentation, making home for Spirit and the mystical to reside has become the grounding force in their work. Ambrose was transformed by Black Studies while at Yale College where they received their BA. Dedicated to the stories, lives and bodies of Black girls, women and queer folks, their work and practice are rooted in ethea of care, reverence, intimacy, time-travel, healing, grief and attending to the stories of the dead.
