Celebrating Juneteenth: Creating Our Futures
André Fuqua and Brianna McIntyre of Occupy Vacancy confront legacies of racism and urban renewal in north St. Louis neighborhoods. They are not only creating sculptures, but they are also building community and seeking ways to preserve the histories of the neighbor (hoods) that are forgotten. Patrick Earl Hammie’s series "I AM… THE NIGHT" explores the psychology of racism through lynching photographs manipulated to look like Rorschach tests. Together in conversation, these artists will discuss the importance of remembering history and ways we can imagine new Black futures.
