Porch Talk: Public Art in Black Spaces

How do Public Artworks preserve, protect, and promote Black communities?

Join Houston Freedmen's Town Conservancy for a lively discussion on Tuesday, December 3, 2024, from 6-8 pm at the Visitor Center. Our conversation will be focused on "The Meditative Space: Barbara Jordan Monument," completed in August 2023 by Jamal Cyrus, and located outside the Gregory School. Houston-based artist Jamal Cyrus will share his inspiration for the artwork and Houston Sun Founder, Dorris Ellis-Robinson will provide insight into Barbara Jordan's life and legacy within Freedmen's Town. Ryan Dennis, Associate Curator at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, will moderate this enriching conversation.
