SUMMARY:Elizabeth Alexander on The Trayvon Generation at MCA
DESCRIPTION:This event is a collaboration between the MCA Chicago and the Chicago Humanities Festival. \nJoin us for a conversation with one of the great literary voices of our time\, Elizabeth Alexander. \nIn her latest book The Trayvon Generation\, Alexander tenderly writes about the young people whose worldview has been indelibly shaped by persistent and visible racially motivated violence and asserts the unresolved problem of the color line at the center of the American experience. Join Alexander for a wide-ranging discussion about the power of art and culture to understand and confront issues of race\, class\, and injustice\, and the ways in which Black artists\, scholars\, and activists have always revealed the “problem\, the hope\, and the possibility of America.” Moderated by Romi Crawford\, Professor of Visual and Critical Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. \nThis Dialogue presentation is organized by Daniel Atkinson\, Manager of Learning\, Adult Interpretive Programs\, and Otez Gary\, Curatorial Assistant\, in collaboration with the Chicago Humanities Festival. \nThis event will be ASL interpreted and captioned. \nhttps://visit.mcachicago.org/events/dialogue-keynote-elizabeth-alexander-on-the-trayvon-generation/
