‘I Quit Slavery.’ American Maroons and the Absolute Freedom of Abstract Art.
What does it mean to ‘quit’ slavery? Let’s walk together in the hush of the high ground imagining what Maroons felt: spiritually; spatially; metaphorically.
This conversation explores the historical landscape of the Great Dismal Swamp Maroons and how their achievement to ‘hide in plain sight’ is best represented in the liberating terrain of abstract art.
This talk will be followed by a reception in the gallery from 11am-1pm.
