Art & Social Justice Stephen Hayes and the USCT Public Sculpture Project
Wednesday, July 15, 6:30 PM
Join us for our conversation in the Art and Social Justice series. Deputy Director Heather Wilson will talk with Stephen Hayes, the artist who is creating the United States Colored Troops Public Sculpture. They will be joined by Sonya Patrick and Josiah Benjamin Bennetone III, USCT descendants, and Joel Cook, a re-enactor from the USCT 35th whose features were cast for the project.
Of the project Hayes say, "The USCT project is more than a project, more than a movement. This is then, now, and the future. People fought for one simplle thing: the freedom of their bodies, on stolen land, and today we still fight for it and more. I am truly grateful and honored to be a part of this project."
Durham-born artist Stephen Hayes is the Brock Family Visiting Instructor in Studio Arts in the Department of Art, Art History, and Visual Studies at Duke University. He is known for his figurative work, specifically depicting the African-American experience. His work has been featured at the National Cathedral, Winston Salem State University, Duke University, Peninsula Fine Arts Center, Rosa Parks Museum, African American Museum of Philadelphia, and Harvey B. Gantt Center, among others. He is the recipient of the 2019 North Carolina Arts Council Emerging Artist Award. He has attended residencies at the McColl Center for the Visual Arts in Charlotte and the Halcyon Arts Lab, Washington, D.C., among others.
We've had so much interest in this program, we've had to move it to a webinar. We have created a new link.
