About this Event

This isn't a typical artist talk but a journey with an artist as they share their practice, pivots, and purpose.

On December 19th, join the Earlie E. Thorpe Historical Society at the Durham Art Guild's Golden Belt Gallery for a discussion on public history with NCCU Alum Tyanna Parker West.


This discussion marks the third installment of Practice Makes Purpose, a conversation series hosted by Anthony Patterson, which aims to help creative professionals bring context to their complex careers.


During our time together, we'll discuss the expectations and realities of Mrs. West's professional practice, life, career pivots, and the purpose driving her work.Tyanna Parker-West is a public historian, performance artist, and proud Gullah Geechee woman whose Brunswick County roots go back to the early 1800s.

Tyanna’s master’s thesis examines the Gullah connection in Brunswick County, North Carolina. Tyanna is also a first-year PhD student at North Carolina State University, where her focus areas include African American History and Heritage Preservation. Tyanna is the proud mother of 3 beautiful children and has been married to the love of her life, David, for the past 16 years.
