LaKela Brown: Windgate Artist in Residence Lecture

Utilizing imagery referencing 1990s hip-hop culture, LaKela Brown creates sculptural reliefs that evoke ancient art forms such as hieroglyphic wall carvings or cuneiform relief tablets. These works are presented as artifacts from another era that have been discovered and put on display in the ZMA Atrium for examination that is as much anthropological as it is aesthetic. Brown beckons viewers to consider how objects are historicized, represented and abstracted in a museological context.
