Enjoy a complimentary cup of coffee and join Tamir Williams, Penn History of Art PhD candidate, for a conversation inspired by the ICA exhibition Colored People Time: Banal Presents. The discussion will consider how the three artists in the exhibition—Sable Elyse Smith, Carolyn Lazard, and Cameron Rowland—engage the legacy of chattel slavery within present-day U.S. institutional structures. Participants will examine how the artists subversively utilize scale and color, oral histories, and property law as means to resist the ongoing violence of American institutions.
