THE COLOR OF JUSTICE
Featuring Masud Olufani and Jimmie Gardner
Moderated by the Hon. Leslie Abrams Gardner, U.S. District Judge
April 20, 2019 | 6 pm | Haley Gallery
The Albany Museum of Art will host The Color of Justice, a panel discussion moderated by the Hon. Leslie Abrams Gardner, U.S. District Judge, that will feature sculptor and multimedia artist Masud Olufani and inspirational speaker Jimmie C. Gardner.
The event is set for 6 pm April 30, 2019 in the AMA's Haley Gallery. It is free and open to the public.
With Olufani’s exhibition Memory and Meaning setting the stage, Gardner will share his story of perseverance through 27 years of wrongful incarceration. Together, Olufani and Gardner will ignite a dialog regarding racial disparities within the United States judicial system.
Olufani, whose work includes exploration of the African-American experience with the U.S. justice system, said there "will be some dialogue about my work as it relates to the title of the show. It’ll be about the resiliency of the human spirit as it transcends the challenges facing humanity. I imagine that will be part of the conversation.”
Olufani exhibition continues in the Haley Gallery through June 15, 2019.
