MFA Fine Arts presents a talk by Romi Crawford.

Romi Crawford, PhD, has a research practice that explores areas of race and ethnicity as they relate to American visual culture (including art, film, and photography). Her work often centers on, and expands the bounds of, Black Arts Movement ideas and aesthetics and positions pedagogical activities that embed in art practices. Recent curatorial projects include "Citing Black Geographies" (Richard Gray Gallery, 2022) and "So Be It! Ase!: Photographic Echoes of Festac'77" (Richard Gray, 2023). Crawford is founder of the Black Arts Movement School Modality and the New Art School Modality, and is professor in the Visual and Critical Studies and Liberal Arts departments at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Talks is a series of lectures by artists, writers and critics presented by MFA Fine Arts. Talks are held on Tuesdays at 3:00pm at 133 West 21st Street in Room 101C and on Zoom. Participation in the Q&A is limited to MFA Fine Arts students attending the lecture in person.
