In Conversation: Miatta Kawinzi with Chrislyn Laurore
Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts
724 S. 12th Street
Omaha, NE 68102
Listen and learn from exhibiting artist Miatta Kawinzi and Haitian-American anthropologist Chrislyn Laurore, who will focus on diasporic identity, material memory, and how storytelling can function as an embodied archive. Their dialogue will connect Kawinzi’s exploration of cultural lineage and ecological interdependence with broader questions of belonging and change within the African Diaspora.
Admission is free; RSVPs are encouraged.
