Brooklyn Talks: A Tribute to Seydou Keïta

Description

Saturday, November 15, 2–3:30 pm

Reflect on Seydou Keïta’s resounding legacy during a discussion among contemporary photographers, inspired by our special exhibition Seydou Keïta: A Tactile Lens. Keïta’s photographs—taken at his studio in Bamako during an era of profound political change—depict Malian society as the country transitioned from French colonial rule to independence. The exhibition features nearly 275 works across media, including iconic prints and never-before-seen portraits. 

Paying tribute to Keïta’s impact on contemporary visual culture and portraiture, Brooklyn Museum collection artists Omar Victor Diop and Hank Willis Thomas speak with Catherine E. McKinley, an art historian and curator of A Tactile Lens.

Support for Brooklyn Talks is provided by Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Foundation Endowment.

Tickets are $25 ($15 for Members) and include access to Seydou Keïta: A Tactile Lens. Not a Member? Join today!

This program will include ASL interpretation. For accessibility accommodations, email access@brooklynmuseum.org.
