Join STAMPS on Thursday, February 18, 2021, at 6 pm to hear from four Stamps School alumni artists featured in the exhibition Story, Word, Sound, Sway, on view online and at Stamps Gallery January 18, 2021 – February 28, 2021.

Panelists include:

– Senghor Reid (BFA ’99)
– Yvette Rock (MFA ’99)
– Wes Taylor (BFA ’04)
– Elizabeth Youngblood (BFA ’73)

Reid, Rock, Taylor, and Youngblood will discuss the ways their creative work challenges the status quo and the role that artists play in breaking down the walls of oppression and injustice. The Stamps Gallery exhibition Story, Word, Sound, Sway explores subjects of alternative histories, Black identity, and storytelling; meshing performance and performativity, and the interplay of the oral and aural in one’s experience of the world.

This event is co-presented with Stamps Gallery and co-sponsored by the CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.
