Storytelling is part of the art created by Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller (1877-1968).Fuller’s landmark sculptures speak to the African American experience and gender concerns.
This talk focuses on specific artworks, including important work at the Danforth Art Museum.
Fuller offers layered narratives throughout her art, informed by societal concerns.
The talk will look at significant individuals, including W.E.B. DuBois, Auguste Rodin and Angelina Weld Grimké, who have influenced Fuller's art practice.
We will see how her artworks speak across time to each other.
Themes of violence and pain recur, as do warmth, care and humour.
The discussion shows Fuller’s mode of working and storytelling is highly relevant today.
