In recognition of the opening of听Jacob Lawrence: American Struggle听at the Seattle Art Museum, this symposium asks: what constitutes a legacy?

A keynote lecture and moderated roundtable conversation will explore how artists鈥攑ast and present鈥攈ave constructed and transmitted legacies in response to debates about cultural inheritance, transmission, racial identity, and history.
Organized by Juliet Sperling, Assistant Professor of Art History and Kollar Endowed Chair in American Art, School of Art + Art History + Design, 榴莲视频. This event is made possible through support from the Allan and Mary Kollar Endowed Chair in American Art.
