Join us for an online conversation in connection with Infinite Passage, a retrospective exhibit of work by Guyanese-born artist Carl E. Hazlewood. The artist will be joined by curator Serubiri Moses and Rinaldo Walcott, chair of Africana studies at University of Buffalo SUNY and author of Queer Returns: Essays on Multiculturalism, Diaspora, and Black Studies (2016). The exhibition title references the passage of enslaved Africans across the Atlantic, as well as the landscapes and seascapes of Guyana. The exhibit includes 50 artworks—mixed-media painting, drawing, and installation. In several of the pieces, Hazlewood represents artmaking as life, relaying his journey from text-based language to visual vocabulary. Much of the work is rooted in movement—which, according to Hazlewood, is “an inescapable part of our existence.”
