Papers, Presentations and Panels Celebrate Black Women
Washington, DC, August 08, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Art on the Vine (AOTV) is pleased to announce the selection of 16 Black women to participate in The Convening. The day inspired by the fair’s theme “Implicit, By Us,” will feature conversations, presentations and reflections by Black women who create, critique, live, love, laugh and protect an important nexus where Blackness, identity and creativity meet. The Convening takes place at Old Whaling Church in Edgartown, MA on Monday, August 12th from 10am - 6pm.
Featuring a stellar mix of artists, scholars, curators and happenmakers, “this year’s Convening will hold space and give space for Black women’s scholarship to be seen, their voices to be heard, and their lived experiences to uplift all who bear witness,” says Jessica Stafford Davis, Founder of Art on the Vine and The Agora Culture.
Art on the Vine is one of the first major multicultural events that focuses solely on emerging and mid-career African-American artists and brings together art appreciators, collectors, up-and-coming artists, institutions, and the merely curious for this cultural explosion.
