Talk: Sowing Seeds of Freedom

A discussion between Master printers Marina Ancona and Michael Costello and artists Harmony Hammond and Karsten Creightney about how the final print is often shaped by the nature of the collaborative process between artist and printer.

Moderated by Albuquerque Museum Curator Josie Lopez.

A vision, a journey, and a desire manifested with the incorporation of New Mexico’s first all-Black town, Blackdom.

Despite dismal precipitation levels, Blackdom residents were able to cultivate significant crops of the African diaspora. This talk is presented by Maya Allen, a Ph.D student in biology at the University of New Mexico.

Nikesha Breeze’s work is deeply invested in reclaiming both historical narratives of the African diasporic body and the reclaiming of Afro-futures.
