Artist-Scholar talk

This talk discussed the visual memoir that illuminates and contextualizes the artist’s relationship to the Igbo tribe and legend of coastal Georgia. It connects the historic event to Igbo (and west African) cosmologies, and further to Black literary and oral narrative sources that informed the  decision of those who chose to return by water. Drapetomania’s Tale and Igbo Landing as Portal’s objective is transcendent as it asks us to actively consider the three temporalities of past, present, and future.
