The Art of Influence: An Artist's Journey
MOCA X Howard University Panel Discussion

Join us for an inspiring and thought-provoking panel discussion during Miami Art Week, set against the backdrop of the exhibition Jamea Richmond-Edwards: Ancient Future.

Curator Adeze Wilford will lead a conservation with artist and Howard University alum Jamea Richmond-Edwards, Assistant Dean Denise Saunders Thompson, and Associate Professor Alex McSwain from Howard’s Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts. They’ll explore the evolution from student to professional artist, examining the legacy of AFRICOBRA, which influences Richmond-Edwards’ work in Ancient Future, and discussing the cultivation of Black art spaces.

This conversation promises to shed light on the paths of Black artists, the role of HBCUs in nurturing artistic talent, and the broader necessity of creating and maintaining spaces for Black art and artists in the art world.

5-6 PM: Reception

6-7 PM: Panel Discussion
