Event Offsite at Emory University’s Michael C. Carlos Museum
Join us at Emory University’s Michael C. Carlos Museum for a conversation between renowned Guyanese-British artist Hew Locke, whose work explores empire and power, and Guyanese-American curator Grace Aneiza Ali. The landmark exhibition, Donald Locke: Nexus, curated by Ali and on view here at Atlanta Contemporary, honors the life and legacy of Guyanese-born artist Donald Locke (1930–2010), one of Atlanta’s most influential artists. It focuses on how the concept of “nexus” permeates his artistic and intellectual journey and his engagement with themes of migration, cultural hybridity, and the histories of colonialism.
On Saturday, January 25, at 4 pm, join Masud Olufani for a conversation with Stephen Satterfield, creator of the Netflix series High on the Hog, as they discuss some of the narrative elements of food culture as depicted in Olufani’s current exhibition, A Sorcery of Sustenance. This conversation will be moderated by Floyd Hall, Atlanta Contemporary Executive Director.
