A conversation with McCallum and Tarry

The Xavier University Endowment for the Humanities Speakers Series Presents: A conversation with McCallum and Tarry
Thursday January 15th, University Center Ballroom, Xavier University of Louisiana, 7PM

A collaborative artist team working and exhibiting globally since 1998, Bradley McCallum and Jacqueline Tarry seek to reveal and discuss issues revolving around marginalized members of society. Their work, which includes large-scale public projects, performance sculpture, painting, photography, video and self-portraiture, challenges audiences to face issues of race and social justice. Mc Callum and Tarry’s work can be seen currently at The African American Musium of Art History and Culture, as part of Prospect.1, the largest biennial of international contemporary art ever organized in the United States. Prospect.1 New Orleans has been conceived by director and curator Dan Cameron, in the tradition of the great international biennials, and showcases new artistic practices as well as an array of programs benefiting the local community. The exhibition closes January 18th.
