“AfriCOBRA: Art & Impact – Behind the Canvas”, panel lead by Dr. Carol Adams
In Chicago 1968, a group of artists came together and began to define a uniquely black aesthetic in visual arts. They sought to make art that spoke directly to the needs, aspirations and experiences of black America, and that celebrated what was beautiful and heroic about black culture. In “Behind the Canvas,” Dr. Carol Adams, cultural arts expert and CEO of the DuSable Museum, leads a discussion with members and protégés of the AfriCOBRA collective about the inspirations behind their incomparable and emotive masterpieces.
