PART II:  Filmed at the Neuberger Museum of Art on November 29, 2017.

Panelists Seph Rodney, staff writer and editor of Hyperallergic, and artists Tomashi Jackson and Tariku Shiferaw trace genealogies of abstraction from Romare Bearden to today’s contemporary abstract artists.

The dialogue is an extension of Rodney’s Hyperallergic article How to Embed a Shout: A New Generation of Black Artists Contends with Abstraction.
