Virtual Student Guide Tour

This event was recorded. Please view the talk on our Vimeo or Youtube channel.

In celebration of Black History Month, Phillip Michalak ’23 and Cecilia Zhou ’22 will discuss two new works now on view by renowned Black artists: Kehinde Wiley’s Portrait of Asia-Imani, Gabriella-Esnae, and Kaya Palmer (2020) and Rashid Johnson’s Untitled Broken Crowd (2021). Looking closely at how these paintings treat the body, materials, and space, Michalak and Zhou will explore the common ground between the artists and the differences in the paths they’ve taken.
