Exhibit Closing Celebration

A Part of Visionary Aponte: Art & Black Freedom

Join us for one last celebration of the Visionary Aponte exhibit at the Power Plant Gallery. The evening will feature a dance performance by Yanique Hume with Maya Berry and her students and the public reveal of new artwork by artists-in-residence Édouard Duval-Carrié and Tessa Mars. This event is a part of Visionary Aponte: Art & Black Freedom, a nine-week art exhibit and accompanying series of conversations, screenings, performances, residencies, and workshops at Duke University organized by the Power Plant Gallery and the Forum for Scholars and Publics. The exhibit is curated by Édouard Duval-Carrié and Ada Ferrer and is based on a digital humanities project called Digital Aponte. Find more information online at aponte.dukefsp.org.

Free and open to the public. Organized by the Power Plant Gallery and the Forum for Scholars and Publics.

“These conversations might take their cue from Aponte’s story, or the artwork, but they are not limited by either. And certainly they are no less important. Our program of events strives to create many access points, and that means considering how these works might influence our physical bodies, via dance, or walking around the gallery, or via conversations about Black freedom, or films on Afrofuturism.” —Caitlin Margaret Kelly, Visionary Aponte: Art & Black Freedom, Forum Online
