Gallery Talk for Successions: Traversing US Colonialism

September 02, 2021 in exhibit, Event

Gallery Talk: "Successions"

DC mixed-media artist Amber Robles-Gordon talks "Successions" with curator Larry Ossei-Mensah.


About this Event:

Successions is a conceptual juxtaposition that celebrates abstraction as an art form while leveraging it as a tool to interrogate past and current US policies within its federal district (Washington, DC) and territories (including Guam, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands) that it controls. 

This event will be held virtually. Please register to receive the Zoom link via email.  Learn more about the exhibition. 

OrganizerAmerican University Museum At The Katzen Arts Center

Organizer of Gallery Talk: "Successions"

Housed in the dynamic and multidisciplinary Katzen Arts Center, the American University Museum builds its programming on the strengths of a great college and great university. We focus on international art because American University has a global commitment. We show political art because the university is committed to human rights, social justice, and political engagement. We support the artists in our community because the university takes an active and responsible role in the formation of our contemporary art and culture. 

We present exhibitions that mirror American University’s aspiration to be the premier Washington-based, global university. Our programming puts the best art of our region in a national and international context. Our collections enable us to present the art history of Washington, while our Kunsthalle attitude brings the most provocative art of our time to our place.
