"Here and Now: African and African American Art and Film Conference
focuses on contemporary expressions in art and cinema from multiple
perspectives within the realm of African and African American visual
culture. This four-day conference looks at how African and African
American artists interpreted, documented, chronicled, and created
images over the last twenty years. By re-examining visual history
through the voices of artists, art historians, filmmakers,
photographers, activists, editors, writers, collectors and gallerists,
“Here and Now” encourages a diverse perspective of the imagery created
in the 21st century. For more information and a schedule of events
