What is the relationship between Black liberatory artistic practices, place, and community? In this roundtable discussion, a group of scholars share reflections on landscapes of Black freedom manifested in Black art. Focused on the quotidian aspects of life, panelists examine the ways their respective artistic practices sustain and enrich their intellectual investments and inform the ways they read Black landscapes—past, present, and future. Learn how acts of refusal, waywardness, and the role of emplaced exigent memories of freedom and liberation are engendered in Black art, and offer a generative explication of place. 

Panelists: Dr. Christy Hyman, Michelle Lanier, Dr. Danielle Purifoy, Dr. J.T. Roane

Moderators: Dr. Maia L. Butler and Dr. Andrea Roberts

This event will kick off the Out(sider) Preservations Initiative led by UVA's Center for Cultural Landscapes and funded by the Mellon Foundation.
