Virtual | NoCal Artist Talk with Lava Thomas

August 19, 2021 | 10:00 am - 11:30 am

Lava Thomas in her studio
10am PT

ArtTable’s Northern California Chapter is very pleased to present an Artist Talk with Lava Thomas. Thomas tackles issues of race, gender, representation and memorialization through a multidisciplinary practice that spans drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, and site-specific installations. Drawing from her family’s Southern roots, current socio-political events, intersectional feminism and African American protest and devotional traditions, Thomas’s practice centers ideas that amplify visibility, healing, and empowerment in the face of erasure, trauma and oppression.

This program is free and open to members of ArtTable’s Northern California Chapter only. Members may bring one additional guest.
