Lecture: Nyeema Morgan (Webinar)

Nyeema Morgan will provide a look into her interdisciplinary practice that has included large-scale drawings, sculptural installation, and print-based media. Referencing familiar artifacts like recipes, book pages, fables, and canonical artworks, Morgan reflects on personal and cultural economies of knowledge. Her works raise questions about how we articulate and construct meaning within a complex system of socio-political relations.
