Talks at the Schomburg Black Curators Matter Oral History III
The Black Curators Matter Oral History Project is an intergenerational dialogue series between Black visual art curators who have made an outstanding impact across the arts and cultural world, presented by the Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies (AAADS) at Columbia University, in collaboration with the Columbia Center for Oral History Research.
The final in a series of public conversations about Black visual art curators, this evening’s program will explore issues of race and diversity between the 1990s -2000s and how their commitment to institutional change has contributed to recentering Black culture as American culture.
