Artist Talk with Tyanna Buie

Join artist Tyanna Buie, Associate Professor of Printmaking at the Rhode Island School of Design, for a discussion of her monumental work included in All in the Family. Buie will discuss how she mobilizes her artistic practice to reimagine her own history as a way to define her present and build her future. In her words, "I construct an intersectional identity between self-portraiture, personal narrative, family history, pop-culture, art history, and moments of significance within Black culture."
