Art Study Center Seminar at Home, with Larry Cook

October 30, 2020 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Free

Since we are unable to welcome you into the museums at this time, we are bringing our experts to you in a new online series, Art Study Center Seminars at Home.

Cook was recently awarded a grant from the Harvard University Committee on the Arts (HUCA) for his work exploring themes of racial justice.

In this session, curator Makeda Best will talk with Washington, D.C.–based photographer and artist Larry Cook. They will discuss Cook’s socially critical work, which engages issues of black masculinity, black culture, racial stereotypes, and carceral aesthetics in the American imaginary. As part of this conversation, Best and Cook will also consider a selection of related works in the Harvard Art Museums photography collection.

Led by:
Makeda Best, Richard L. Menschel Curator of Photography, Division of Modern and Contemporary Art

Larry Cook, photographer and conceptual artist and Assistant Professor of Photography, Howard University
