Join Art + Practice for an artist talk with Los Angeles-native artist Lava Thomas. Through a multidisciplinary practice that includes drawing, painting, sculpture, and site-specific installation, Thomas’s work considers notions of visibility, empowerment, and healing in the face of erasure, oppression, and trauma. At A+P, Thomas will discuss recent and new works that explore portraiture and memorialization through a black feminist lens. This program is organized on the occasion of A+P’s exhibitions Stephen Towns: Rumination and a Reckoning and Ramsess: The Gathering. Image: Lava Thomas, Resistance Reverb: Movements 1 & 2, 2018.
