Hosted by Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland (moCa)
The Black Art Library (BAL) founder—arts educator Asmaa Walton—invites guests ages 12 & older to explore Black arts resources often excluded from the permanent collections of museums. Walton sees BAL as a "hybrid" community space where everyone can learn and explore the rich legacy of Black art, aesthetics, and history.
Immediately following this discussion, Walton and artist Antwoine Washington will facilitate a making workshop. Attendees will make their own Black Art Library cards and bookmarks while learning about the Museum of Creative Human Art (from co-founders Michael Russell II and Antwoine Washington).
