Studio Salon is the Museum’s literary society that invites visitors to participate in an ongoing series of talks, book clubs and writing workshops inspired by our exhibitions and aimed at encouraging self-expression and critical dialogue. Recreating the intimacy and inquisitiveness of a studio visit, exhibiting artist Titus Kaphar will be joined by Dr. Khalil Gibran Muhammad—the director of Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture—for a walk-through and discussion of The Jerome Project that will be livestreamed to reach a broader audience. They will explore Michelle Alexander’s seminal text The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness as integral source material that informed Titus’ personal research and artistic process for this very timely and important project. If you are interested in joining Studio Salon, we encourage you to first visit the Museum to view The Jerome Project and purchase your copy of The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness from our Bookstore.
