Join us for this rare opportunity to hear Nikole Hannah-Jones in conversation with two extraordinary artists, Bryant Lamont and Vitus Shell, featured in The 1619 Project: A Visual Experience, an illustrated edition of The 1619 Project book, showcasing newly commissioned artwork and archival images. Led by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Hannah-Jones and curated by New York Times Magazine editors, the new book features beautiful, engaging visuals produced by artists including Carrie Mae Weems, Calida Rawles, and Xaviera Simmons. The conversation will be moderated by Tyree Boyd-Pates, an acclaimed historian, museum curator, and expert in African American art and culture based in Los Angeles.
Since its launch in 2019, The 1619 Project has reframed the American founding—placing slavery and resistance at the center of the American story—through a special New York Times Magazine issue, a bestselling book, a podcast, a children’s book, a collection of teaching resources, and a six-part docuseries.
