About this Event
Quimby’s Show & Tell with Dorian Sylvain
Saturday, February 21, 6:30-8 pm
Quimby’s is excited to host acclaimed painter, muralist, educator, and cultural organizer for a special Show & Tell session focused on her artistic practice and the book that accompanies her exhibition, Raised In It!
During this conversation, Sylvain will discuss her diverse work in murals, scenic design, mixed media, and education, as well as her ongoing dedication to collaboration, community empowerment, and the preservation of cultural memory. She will discuss the creative process behind Raised In It!, her solo exhibition and the related publication, which includes essays, archival materials, and reflections on lineage, mentorship, and creative resistance.
Hear directly from Sylvain about how her work integrates storytelling, public art, and intergenerational knowledge into her community-focused practices. Her approach considers history as an ongoing influence that actively shapes the present. This Show & Tell explores how art serves as a remembrance, a site of resistance, and a collective imagination.
