SUMMARY:Celebration: The Radical Art of Nellie Mae Rowe
DESCRIPTION:Register in advance. Not a Member? Join today! Add a copy of
  the exhibition catalogue at checkout.\n\nThis program will include ASL 
 interpretation. For access needs\, please email us at access@brooklynmuse
 um.org.\n\n\n\nIn the final weeks of Really Free: The Radical Art of Nell
 ie Mae Rowe\, gather for a celebration of the legacy of Nellie Mae Rowe (
 1900–1982). Rowe’s experimental sculptures\, drawings\, and vibrant wo
 rks on paper explore girlhood\, spirituality\, and radical hospitality wit
 hin post–civil rights era Georgia. The program aims to invoke this ethos
  of hospitality by inviting visitors to look closely at Rowe’s art and c
 ome together around conversation and live music.\n\nBegin the afternoon wi
 th an exhibition tour led by the late artist’s grandniece Cheryl Mashac
 k\, who will reflect upon themes of lineage and home.\n\nThen\, vanessa g
 erman—a self-taught citizen artist working across sculpture\, performanc
 e\, communal ritual\, and photography—shares a poetic tribute to Rowe. T
 hrough these mediums\, german proposes models for social healing\, using c
 reativity and tenderness to reckon with white supremacy\, heteropatriarchy
 \, and misogynoir.\n\nNext\, hear from curators Catherine Morris and Je
 née-Daria Strand\, who organized Really Free at the Brooklyn Museum\, a
 nd Katherine Jentleson of the High Museum of Art\, who organized the exh
 ibition’s original iteration. Together\, they discuss the shifting categ
 ories of “self-taught\,” “outsider\,” and “folk” art\, and Row
 e’s place within contemporary curatorial discourse. The conversation als
 o considers distinctions between the presentations of Rowe’s work in her
  home state and in Brooklyn.\n\nThe celebration culminates with a performa
 nce by Lonnie Holley\, accompanied by musicians Shahzad Ismaily and Ne
 lson Patton (Dave Nelson and Marlon Patton). Since 1979\, Holley has been
  creating sculptures from found materials\, in what he calls the oldest tr
 adition of African American sculpture. Self-taught\, the artist also made 
 home recordings for more than two decades before releasing his first studi
 o album at age sixty-two. His visual art and music inform one another\, wi
 th sculptures representing three-dimensional sketches of stories that late
 r appear in songs.\n\nLocated in Cantor Auditorium (3rd Floor) and Elizabe
 th A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art (4th Floor).\n\nSchedule:\n\n 	1–1
