Join 2022–23 Studio Museum artist in residence Jeffrey Meris for a conversation with artists Tomashi Jackson and Alexandria Smith. The term “ann pale,” Haitian Creole for “let’s talk”, frames this intimate conversation about Octavia Butler’s Earthseed book series. Butler’s science fiction novels have been an inspiration for many artists and a means to examine the complexities and possibilities of Black futurity. This discussion will explore references and methodologies in the artists’ practices and how Butler’s legacy has influenced their work.
This program takes place on Zoom with live CART captioning and ASL interpretation.
