In a Speculative Light: The Arts of James Baldwin and Beauford Delaney
February 20-21, 2020
During the two-day symposium, speakers will present new perspectives on the work of two famous 20th-century Black American artists who were also lifelong friends: the writer James Baldwin and the painter Beauford Delaney. Presenters will offer timely new interpretations of Black arts and identity by analyzing how these artists' lives intersect with the jazz, painting, and literature of their time.
