Slow Looking with the Lowe: Commemorating Juneteenth with the art of Kehinde Wiley
About this Event
Please join us for the virtual program Slow Looking with the Lowe: Commemorating Juneteenth with the art of Kehinde Wiley. Lowe Art Museum Educator for Academic and Public Programs, Tola Porter, Ph.D., will lead participants through a 30-minute interactive engagement with two of Wiley’s larger-than-life portraits. The program will link Wiley’s contemporary efforts to redefine and affirm black identity with Juneteenth, a bittersweet day that celebrates human freedom but also critiques the ongoing legacy of slavery.
This program was made possible by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture, the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, and the National Endowment for the Arts; the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade Mayor and Board of County Commissioners; the City of Coral Gables; Beaux Arts Miami; and Lowe members.
