Thur, Feb 4, 12-1pm Pacific time
McEvoy Foundation for the Arts and frieze Magazine present this wide-ranging conversation that highlights "Lessons of the Hour-Frederick Douglass" (2019), Isaac Julien's genre-breaking, ten-screen film installation about the abolitionist (1818-1895), as a nexus of citizenship, rights, and the present moment's witness to the resurgence of white supremacy. The film is at the center of McEvoy Arts' current exhibition 'Lessons of the Hour,' on view through March 13, 2021 at the Foundation's San Francisco gallery. The program will focus on the relationship of the academy to racial politics, and address the ways in which universities play a key role in changing the landscape of social justice by inspiring radical art practice.
This event is hosted online via Zoom. Attendance is free with registration.
frieze Magazine associate editor Terence Trouillot moderates the discussion and is joined by Julien, filmmaker and UC Santa Cruz's distinguished professor of the arts; Jennifer Gonzalez, professor of History of Art and Visual Culture at UC Santa Cruz; and Mark Nash, independent curator and writer. Nash's accompanying exhibition at McEvoy Arts, 'When Living as a Protest,' features selections from the McEvoy Family Collection that bring Julien's work further into focus through a range of modern and contemporary images from the civil rights era to the present day. Gonzalez, who has written widely on Julien's practice, contributed a new interview with the artist for the exhibition.
