Take a closer look at “Roll Call: Two Hundred Years of Black American Art” through the lens of design and visual storytelling. This ArtBreak program features James Williams, the Museum’s Director of Design and Technology, who will share insight into the creative process behind the exhibition’s catalogue, including how visual elements shape interpretation, storytelling, and the presentation of artists across the exhibition.
Following the talk, continue the experience with a guided tour of the exhibition led by Jade Powers, Hugh Kaul Curator of Contemporary Art. The tour will offer additional context on key works and curatorial framing, creating a cohesive connection between the catalogue’s design and the works on view.
