For the eighth annual Lea K. Green Artist Talk, the Studio Museum in Harlem is proud to honor Caroline Kent, who will be in conversation with friend and artist Amanda Williams at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.
A 2021 Joyce Alexander Wein Artist Prize awardee, Chicago-based artist Caroline Kent explores the relationship between language and abstraction through paintings, drawings, sculpture, and performance work, unveiling how such work can function as acts of translation.
In this conversation, Kent and Williams will explore the artist’s creative practice and philosophy, as well as considerations of gesture and mark-making within the tradition of abstraction.
The Studio Museum in Harlem's annual Lea K. Green Artist Talk brings together exceptional artists and cultural luminaries annually for critical dialogues on art and society.

This program will take place in-person, with ASL interpretation. This program will also be livestreamed with live CART captioning.
The annual program is made possible by the Lea K. Green Memorial Fund, established by Lea's family and friends, to honor and celebrate her incredible service and dedication to the Studio Museum.
