In Conversation with Ana and Mel Edwards

On Friday, July 14, 2023, Mel Edwards and his daughter, Ana Edwards, a public historian, activist, and educator in Richmond joined us for a conversation. Named for his daughter in 1970, Corner for Ana is a key the sculpture in VMFA’s permanent collection related to prints the artist made at Communications Village. Founded by Benjamin Wigfall in 1973, Communications Village was a unique space where leading artists of the era engaged the local community and mentored youth while making innovative art. The conversation will be moderated by Sarah Eckhardt, co-curator of the exhibition, Benjamin Wigfall and Communications Village, as they discuss the intersection of art and community modeled in the past and continuing in our own city now. Learn more about Benjamin Wigfall and Communications Village at https://vmfa.museum/exhibitions/benja... This video recording was made possible by The National Endowment for the Humanities.
