· Tuesday, November 7, 2023 · 6:00 - 8:00pm ·

On the occasion of the Fall exhibition “Tracking Im[mortality] // landscapes on safety“ join Saint Joseph’s Art Society Curator-In-Residence Ashara Ekundayo in conversation with interdisciplinary artist Cheryl Derricotte,and Museum of the African Diaspora Chief of Curatorial Affiars & Public Programs Key Jo Lee for an intimate discussion on the impact of institutional and independent Black curatorial praxis, the rise of insistent spaces for Black imagination, and the role of memory in Diasporic art  narratives.

“Tracking Im[mortality] // landscapes on safety” is an exhibition that investigates personal visceral considerations on geographies of sanctuary, wilderness and survival. In an intimate selection of artworks that span photography, glass, printmaking, and built objects, the artists' spark a series of conversations on the relationship to spaces where Black people have historically found refuge and have used re[member]ed tactics, strategies, games, and recipes to thwart death.
