Lecture: Augusta Savage: Renaissance Woman
Join curator, art historian, and artist advocate Jeffreen M. Hayes as she discusses her acclaimed 2019 exhibition Augusta Savage: Renaissance Woman. Savage (1892-1962) overcame poverty, racism, and gender discrimination to become one of America’s most influential 20th-century artists. Her sculptures celebrate African-American culture and her work as an arts educator, activist, and Harlem Renaissance leader was a catalyst for social change. Her work is in the Norton collection.
