Workshop: Afro-surrealist collage
February 4 @ 6:00pm – 8:00pm
In this hands-on workshop, participants will first enjoy a viewing of our special exhibition, The Subversive Eye: Surrealist and Experimental Photography from the David Raymond Collection. Following the viewing, The Pinellas Diaspora Arts Project will present an Afro-Surrealism presentation and collage project by Jake-ann Jones and Debbie Garrett. This event will explore the creative practice of Afro-Surrealism, a movement that places Blackness at the center of Surrealism, with the goal of ushering in a new world that is organically connected to our own.

We will delve into the concept of “Afro-Surreal Expressionism,” a term first coined by Amiri Baraka in 1974 to describe the work of Henry Dumas. In 2009, D. Scot Miller further refined the term with the creation of the “Afro-Surreal Manifesto.”

Participants will be able to engage with these ideas hands-on as we use Afro-Surrealism to create a collaborative collage that reflects personal and collective experiences.

Join us for this unique and thought-provoking exploration of Afro-Surrealism, where art, culture and social consciousness intersect.
