Artist Talk
with Craig Colman

Join Atlanta-based artist Craig Coleman for an intimate discussion of Closet Geometry, their immersive projection installation in Sliver Space. Coleman will explore the themes of identity, self-discovery, and vulnerability, discussing how their work reflects their journey as a non-binary and bisexual individual.
Through geometric projections, intimate imagery, and symbolic objects, Coleman will share how Closet Geometry evokes the complexity of self in a culturally restrictive environment. This talk offers insight into the personal and artistic processes behind the installation, followed by a Q&A.

Crown Connections: A Braiding Workshop Inspired by "This Crown Belongs to US"
Facilitated by Courtney Brooks

"Crown Connections" is more than just a braiding workshop; it's a celebration of self-identity, cultural pride, and the powerful connection forged through the shared experience of Black hair. It's an opportunity to honor the moments we learned to adorn our hair in every texture, color, and style, and to recognize the inherent beauty and regality of our crowns.
