👉 Down the street with our partners at the George B. Vashon Museum of African American History, you are warmly invited to celebrate the grand opening of a permanent exhibit recognizing the life and achievements of longtime broadcast and print journalist, Julius Hunter. The Julius Hunter Media Room will officially open for viewing this Saturday from 10am-4pm.
Robert E. Green’s artistic practice combines physical artmaking (assemblage, sculpture, painting, photography, and video), with acts of social justice that take the form of cultural festivals and events, creating a kind of “Gesamtkunstwerk.” His works and actions celebrate Black Pride and foster economic success within the Black community. Green’s artistic practice has also included the rescue and collection of African/African-American historical and cultural artifacts. He uses the collection and the community events he organizes as catalysts for education and the advancement of Black Pride. Across these initiatives, Green speaks to the spatial displacement of lives and communities fractured by the politics that have fostered years of systemic oppression of African Americans in St. Louis. Recipient of an artist grant from RAC, Green has also shown his work at The Sheldon Art Galleries, 10th Street Galleries, The Griot Museum, 14th Street Art Gallery, and Webster University, among others.
This exhibition is curated by Olivia Lahs-Gonzalez and is supported by The Divided City.
