Artist Talk: Dindga McCannon

We are honored to host Dindga McCannon for a gallery talk and celebrate her work included in our exhibition, Primary Sources. Dindga McCannon has celebrated the histories of Black women in her multidisciplinary practice, which includes paintings, quilts, prints and sculpture. Together with Faith Ringgold and Kay Brown, McCannon formed Where We At Black Women Artists Inc. collective, pioneering a new form of community-based arts education and providing resources to those in prisons, shelters and schools. McCannon’s work fiercely scrutinizes the inequality faced by Black women in America, drawing attention to the oft-forgotten histories and stories of public figures and everyday heroines, as well as her own family and friends. McCannon will speak at 4 p.m. and the museum will be open until 6 p.m.
