Languages of Invisibility and Devaluation

Alumnae artist Veronica Jackson (BS Arch '85) and Andrea Douglas, Executive Director of the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center, come together to discuss visual culture's role in shaping Black identity. The conversation will highlight Jackson's installation THAT'S POPS'S MONEY featured in the Campbell East Wing Gallery (Nov 5–25), and Swords Into Plowshares, an innovative project spearheaded by the Jefferson School to melt down Charlottesville's former bronze statue of Robert E. Lee and transform it into a new work of public art.
