Humanities Teacher Award winner Phoenix Savage (Tougaloo College) will present her public lecture titled, “Making as a Revolutionary Act: Black women Artist and the Forging of New Societies.” Reception to follow.
The lecture will look at the lives and works of Edmonia Lewis, Augusta Savage, and Clementine Hunter. Each woman in her own right selected the revolutionary act to be an artist. And in creating something from nothing, a change occurred, connecting each woman to present day mores in which we see the world around us.
