Curated Conversations EP 4 featuring Alexandria Clay

Black On Black Project Curated Conversations EP 4: Alexandria Clay.

The Raleigh artist discusses how her practice explores what public spaces would look like if they prioritized, reinforced and supported the identity of minorities. Clay’s art questions if public spaces can reflect each and every one of us.

During the discussion, references were made to Zora Neale Hurston’s “How it Feels to be Colored Me,” D.W. Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation" and Joel Chandler Harris' "Uncle Remus."

Clay has worked with Black On Black Project on exhibitions and programming including “Colored Me,” "The Perspective of the 'Others,’" “Paradigm Shifts of Public Spaces: Wilmington.“ She was also a recipient of the project’s Jo Ann Williams Artist Fellowship.
