Artist Sadie Barnette will discuss her material interventions and recent projects, including the reclamation of a 500-page FBI surveillance file amassed on her father during his time with the Black Panther Party and her interactive reimagining of his bar — San Francisco’s first Black-owned gay bar.
This event is organized in conjunction with ANTD15, an upper-level Anthropology seminar that is currently being taught by Prof. Katie Kilroy-Marac under the title of “Engaging the Archive.” It is generously co-sponsored by the Department of Anthropology and the Department of Historical and Cultural Studies at UTSC, as well as the Bissell-Heyd Chair of American Studies.
