Artists Renée Stout and Alisha B. Wormsley will discuss their artistic practices during a special “In Conversation” planned for July 15 by The Westmoreland Museum of American Art.
Time for the livestream event is 7-8 p.m.
Stout’s assemblage, “The Colonel’s Cabinet,” is part of the “African American Art in the 20th Century” exhibition at The Westmoreland, which will reopen to the public on Aug. 5. Some images from the exhibition, continuing through Jan. 17, can be viewed on the museum website.
Stout, a former Pittsburgh resident and graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, will talk about her painting, drawing, mixed media sculpture, photography and installation, and how those works encourage self-examination and introspection.
Her work is influenced by African traditions, magic, city life and urban decay and is included in collections of The Afrika Museum, The Baltimore Museum of Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The National Gallery of Art, The San Francisco Museum of Fine Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the National Museum of African American History and Culture, among others.
Wormsley is an interdisciplinary artist and cultural producer living in Pittsburgh, whose work is about collective memory and the synchronicity of time, specifically through the stories of women of color.
Her work has been exhibited in Pittsburgh at the Andy Warhol Museum, Carnegie Museum of Art and the Mattress Factory, and in venues across the country and internationally.
Registration deadline for “In Conversation” with Stout and Wormsley is July 13. On July 14, participants will receive an email with a link to the program.
