Artist Talk with Rosa Duffy
Moderated by Executive Director Floyd Hall
Join us for an intimate and thought-provoking conversation between Rosa Duffy—archivist, artist, and founder of Endless Editions ATL—and Floyd Hall, Executive Director of Atlanta Contemporary, as they discuss her exhibition Tall and Wild and reflect on the living archive of Black craft and memory in Atlanta.
Set against the backdrop of TALL AND WILD, this artist talk delves into the layered histories that shape the city—histories not only recorded in books and images, but etched into the land, carried through hands, and whispered through generations. Together, Duffy and Hall will explore the intersections of storytelling, preservation, and place, tracing the paths paved by Black readers, writers, and makers over the past four decades.
As Atlanta continues to evolve, this conversation invites us to consider the enduring imprints of Black labor, creativity, and vision that have shaped the cultural fabric of the city—and to imagine how these stories live on through community, care, and craft.
