The new film series at the Crocker Art Museum ”Art + Film” explores how artists, filmmakers, and curators use moving images and film in their work. The museum series kicks off with local artist and alum Jessica Wimbley (M.F.A., ‘05), whose work “The True Story of Edges” is currently on view at the museum.

Wimbley presents two films that have impacted her work as an artist who focuses on intersectional identity, history, myth, and futurity: Zora Neale Hurston’s historic anthropological short, “Fieldwork Footage” (1928) and Sengalese filmmaker Ousmane Sembène’s directorial debut, “Black Girl” (1966).

Tickets and registration are required.

Upcoming speakers include gallery curator Faith J. McKinnie and alum Tavarus Blackmon (M.F.A., ‘18)
