What's On The Table?: Experiencing King Special Edition
A Conversation with antoine williams

African American Cultural Center
Witherspoon 355
3pm-4:30pm

Wind down from the week in a secure space with real conversation about important issues that matter. Gain wisdom. Offer support. Embrace unity at What's on the Table?

For this Experiencing King special edition artist antoine williams will be discussing his Black Man With the Horn Exhibit, currently up at the AACC Gallery.

"Black Man With a Horn" is a site-specific installation of semi-autobiographical narratives consisting of life-size figures made from wheat-paste and found objects. These distorted figures serve as metaphor for larger systemic issues of a broken criminal justice system that rest at the intersection of class, race, geography, and semiotics. Essentially this show will reflect the specifics of Black life in the southeast United States but echoes of contemporary issues we face as a nation.
