The 1970s and 1980s were vital to the development of an African American art network
in Los Angeles. This program reunites four African American avant-garde artists
who worked with organized collaboratives in the 1970s and 1980s such as Studio Z
and Othervisions Studio before going on to individual careers of national and international
importance.

Panelists include Maren Hassinger, artist and director of the Rinehart School of
Sculpture, Maryland Institute College of Art; Ulysses Jenkins, artist and associate
professor of art, University of California, Irvine; Barbara McCullough, artist and
filmmaker; and Senga Nengudi, artist and lecturer in the Department of Visual and
Performing Arts, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs.

The conversation is moderated by Kellie Jones, associate professor of art history
and archaeology, Columbia University, and Judith Wilson, Ph.D., independent scholar.
