Reclaiming the Current

Monday, February 23, -
Speaker(s): Professors Stephen L. Hayes and Javier Wallace
Renowned sculptor Stephen Hayes, MFA and cultural storyteller Javier Wallace, PhD have joined forces to create a series of underwater sculptures intentionally dedicated to enslaved Africans and their descendants. This living memorial is a groundbreaking way to honor the African diaspora-rooted in truth, humanity, and artistic innovation.

Join us to learn about this exciting new project by two Duke faculty. Hear about their project launch last summer in Barbados, and learn about their goals for growing the project over the next several years. Find out how you can get involved.
