SUMMARY:Toby Sisson: ‘Bearing Witness’ Exhibition and Gallery Talk
DESCRIPTION:Toby Sisson. Jimmy’s Blue Sky. 2023\, Collage of Cut Paper\, Photograph\, Encaustic Monotype Prints\, An American Journey series\n\n\n\nJoin us for a lunchtime gallery talk to celebrate an exhibition by Clark University professor Toby Sisson that explores oral history from the Great Migration — the movement of 6 million Black people from the south to the north between 1910 and 1970. Sisson’s artwork is a visual meditation on her late father’s origin story in the Mississippi Delta and the family narrative constructed by its retelling. Composed as a series of collages that portray abstract truths in the absence of material proof\, these pieces from her An American Journey series counter silences within the historical record of Black America. Professor Asha Best will facilitate. \n\n\n\nAdmission to the gallery talk is free and open to the public. Guests are encouraged to arrive at 1:15 p.m. for refreshments. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition will be on display through December 5\, 2025\, but hours may vary. Please contact HigginsInstitute@clarku.edu for more information or to arrange a viewing.
