Schomburg Center Audio/Video Resources: Talks at the Schomburg: Carole Byard, the Rent Series, and Beyond

The Schomburg celebrates the work of visual artist, Carole Byard, with a conversation addressing the “Rent Series”. The program will center on Byard’s discovery--after her father’s death--of a cache of rent receipts he’d kept in his life-long efforts to provide housing for their family, always struggling to do so. In the early 1980s, Byard set about to reimagine her father efforts in a series of images which she titled “Rent.” Join Byard’s peers for a conversation and showcase of her work. Guest speakers include, Grace Williams, Tomie Arai, and Eve Sandler.
