About this Event
From earthworks to recycled art, an increasing number of African American artists have turned their creative energies to exploring the earth, its resources, and issues of sustainability and social justice. Artist Juarez Hawkins will explore the myriad ways several artists addressed the environment in their work, including Martin Puryear (born 1941, Washington, DC), Chakaia Booker (born 1953, Newark, NJ), and Candace Hunter (born circa 1955, Chicago, IL).
