Addressing the Role of Stewardship and Scholarship in Public and Private Collections of African American Art and Art of the African Diaspora
During the three-day program, art historians, artists, critics, and interdisciplinary scholars will examine issues related to preservation, conservation, and publication initiatives from public and private institutions, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Papers and presentations will focus on collaborative partnerships, research and restoration efforts, and survival strategies developed to sustain these important collections of African American art and art of the African Diaspora.
