As part of its series Indelible ORIGINS | Place + People: Venerate, Venerate!, The GREYSTONE Collective presents an artist talk and reading entitled, “Shifting Towards Center” with Talia Kimberly Wright.
Wright (they/them and she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist and writer born and raised on the South Side of Chicago. Their work is informed by Blackness, the Great Migration, and spending summer afternoons dancing under their grandparents’ Mulberry tree. Their goal is to weave new tales using ancestral and learned knowledge with the intention of adding to the canon of Afro-Surrealism. Wright graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and are the recipient of multiple fellowships and awards. They have been published in In These Times, Hooligan Magazine, beestung Magazine and others.
Indelible ORIGINS | Place + People is supported by Hyde Park Art Center’s Artists Run Chicago Fund as part of Art Design Chicago.
Free and open to the public. Space is limited, RSVP is required.
