The Lenfest Center Presents ‘Table Talks at Kamen Gallery: Art, Insight & Lunch’ The interactive experience will be in Kamen Gallery at noon on Oct. 14 and is a part of the Lenfest Center’s Outreach & Engagement Series.
The Lenfest Center at Washington and Lee University presents “Table Talks at Kamen Gallery: Art, Insight & Lunch” in the Stan Kamen Gallery (located in the Lenfest Center lobby) on Tuesday, Oct. 14, at noon.
The event is free, but tickets are required and available online.
“Table Talks at Kamen Gallery: Art, Insight & Lunch” is part of the Lenfest Center’s Outreach & Engagement (O&E) series, which is focused on creating community-based interactions and giving audiences an opportunity to participate in empowering, stimulating and collaborative dialogue. The event will discuss the current exhibit on view in the Kamen Gallery, “Native Art & Ancestral Inspiration: Drawing Endurance,” and will bring its art beyond the gallery walls through a shared meal and vibrant conversation among campus and community members about contemporary Native art.
The “Table Talks” will be led by Jessica Bradby and Rebecca Hill from The Virginia Native Arts Alliance; Siera Hyte, citizen of the Cherokee Nation and the Schiller Family Curator of Indigenous American Art at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts; Ethan Brown, citizen of the Pamunkey Indian Tribe and multimedia artist; and Harvey Markowitz, professor of anthropology emeritus at W&L. Their discussion will dive into the vibrancy of contemporary art and supporting organizations that provide channels to support the preservation of Indigenous history, culture and traditions. The event is sponsored in part by the Class of 1964 Performing Arts Fund, W&L’s Indigenous and Native American Cohort and the Department of Art and Art History.
