Session 5: George Nelson Preston + Adger Cowans | Hosted by Petra Richterová and C. Daniel Dawson

The Meaning Beyond the Other Side of the Canvas | On Becoming Adger Africanist art historian, painter and curator Dr. George Nelson Preston has been instrumental in shaping the study and exhibition of classical African art. His scholarship emphasizes the spiritual, historical and metaphysical dimensions of African creativity. His presentation explores meaning beyond surface interpretation. Photographer and painter Adger Cowans, a founding member of the Kamoinge Workshop photographic collective, reflects on a lifetime of image making rooted in abstraction, jazz sensibility, sensuality and self-reflection. Together, they will consider the inner life of the art work. -Petra Richterová and C. Daniel Dawson https://www.rftmi.com Donate: https://www.rftmi.org/donate Why do we do it? For the love.
