How are artists currently using traditional or historical methods of production in contemporary design? Artists and art historians discuss the pivotal contributions of African Americans to the canon of decorative arts like textile design, jewelry and metalworking, and woodworking. Panelists include artists Robert Paige and Norman Teague, and art conservator and researcher Lamar Gayles. The conversation is moderated by African American studies historian Rikki Byrd.
