ATLANTA IN THE ARTS PANEL 84-94
Moderated by Executive Director Floyd Hall
Join Rosa Duffy, artist and archivist behind TALL AND WILD, in conversation with a dynamic group of archivists and artists as they explore Atlanta’s legacy as a home for Black storytelling and creative labor. Centered around the years 1984 to 1994, this panel will reflect on the role of archives, personal memory, and artistic practice in preserving histories often left in the margins. Together, the speakers will discuss the significance of place, the power of Black craft, and the importance of holding space for stories etched into the land itself.
