Transatlantic Legacy: Full Circle
Providence premiere of works by artist Tony Ramos Exhibition on Display: September 28 - October 18, 2015
Program: October 6-9, 2015 Granoff Center for the Creative Arts
154 Angell Street The work of Tony Ramos as a pioneering performance and media artist is framed by his sojourns from Rhode Island to Cape Verde. It spans a forty year trajectory of recording, documenting, and creating a narrative that connects dots and points of space, time, history, and memory. In this the reconstitution of forgotten and overlooked stories is the legacy. The Rhode Island return of the artist and his work 40 years later brings full circle a unique and important transatlantic legacy, connecting a body of work that is local, global, and universal. Co-sponsored by: Center for the Study of Slavery & Justice, the Brown Center for Students of Color (Black Heritage Series), the Creative Arts Council at Brown University, Electronic Arts Intermix, Spia Media Productions, Inc., and Providence Community Library.
