Three Voices, Three Visions: On The Life and Legacy of James W. Washington Jr.
Join us for a multi-voiced exploration of the life and legacy of renowned sculptor James W. Washington Jr., guided by the book Poem of Stone & Bone: The Iconography of James W. Washington Jr. in Fourteen Stanzas and Thirty-One Days. Through the perspectives of three insightful writers, we’ll reflect on Washington’s artistry, activism, and lasting impact.

Carletta Carrington Wilson will present her artist talk The House Stands Firm: The Creation of Poem of Stone & Bone, detailing the development of four installations on Washington’s property.
