Join art historian Tiffany Barber and filmmaker Madeleine Hunt-Erlich for a screening of “The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire”, which explores the inner world of Caribbean surrealist Suzanne Césaire (1915-1966) through archival research, fragmentation and other non-linear poetic structures.
Surrealism is an art movement that was born shortly after World War I (1914-1918) when European artists began exploring ways of expressing the unconscious mind. The results were often illogical or dreamlike depictions. The term was coined in 1917 by French poet and art critic Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918).
The conversation that follows will center Black surrealism as an artistic tactic and response to a fragmenting authoritarian society.
