SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Artist & Curator Conversation - Absence as Presence: Memory\, Material\, and Time in the Work of Marianetta Porter
DESCRIPTION:\n\nJoin us for an intimate conversation between prolific artist\, designer\, and educator Marianetta Porter and guest curator Juana Williams. Together\, they will discuss how Porter transforms the overlooked\, discarded\, and/or ephemeral into vessels of memory\, meaning\, and connection. Drawing from African American histories and experiences\, Porter’s work invites us to reconsider absence—not as a void\, but as an active force that shapes how we inhabit the present. Through everyday objects such as tea towels\, ironing boards\, church fans\, paper fragments\, and found materials\, she illuminates how memory resides in the body and in ordinary things\, making visible the traces of lives and experiences that might otherwise be erased. A brief audience Q&A will close this presentation. \n\nLimited space available\, reservations are requested. Register here.\n
