Fireside Chat: Art, Language & Power with Glenn Ligon and Huey Copeland

Celebrated artist Glenn Ligon joins scholar Huey Copeland for an intimate fireside conversation about art, language, and power. Together, they explore how the visual arts engage race and history — and how creative practice becomes a form of social critique. Their dialogue situates art not just as reflection, but as resistance, imagination, and re-visioning.
