Talk and Book Signing | Dorian Sylvain

In celebration of her first solo exhibition in two decades, Raised In It!, and its accompanying publication, join us for an artist talk and book signing with Dorian Sylvain. Over the evening Sylvain discusses the arc of her creative practice and the historical antecedents—including the Great Migration, the Civil Rights era, and the Black Arts Movement—that made it possible. She also looks toward the future, exploring the broader initiative that Raised In It! begins: a future HBCU Public Arts Tour. In this dream project Sylvain envisions collaborating with students across Historically Black Colleges and Universities to create campus-based murals that center cultural memory, activism, and imagination.
