Is this your event?About the event
Hear from artist Rhea Dillon, whose charged exhibitions and writing use poet(h)ics, abstraction, and everyday objects to produce distinctive arrangements of sense and affect. Dillon works across mediums to articulate an aesthetic of diasporic Blackness grounded in a postcolonial nonbeing.
This talk is presented by the Society for Contemporary Art.
