"At the Edge of Entanglement" Panel Discussion - Art of Transformation 2025

AT THE EDGE OF ENTANGLEMENT: The Re-Enchantment of the World in African American Art

The artists' panel discussion centers on the Black creative voice as a vital force in exploring the complex interconnections between art and current issues. Moving beyond simplistic narratives, this conversation delves into the profound entanglement of past, present, and future—where ancestral memory meets the speculative potential of the future, and where the physical body interfaces with the digital realm. These artists navigate the tensions and possibilities at this fertile crossroads, using their work to question, reimagine, and redefine realities. A deeply nuanced exploration of how Black artistic practice not only interprets our intertwined world but actively weaves new threads of meaning, identity, and liberation from the very edge of what is known!

WHO: Presented by Ten North Group, in partnership with leading artists and scholars, featuring emerging and established African American artists.

WHAT: A feature panel discussion of the 13th Annual Art of Transformation, centered on the 2025 exhibition At the Edge of Entanglement. This showcase explores how artists navigate, resist, and reimagine the legacies of slavery, colonialism, and systemic oppression through decolonial aesthetics. Panelists will discuss painting, sculpture, installation, digital media, and performance, drawing on thinkers such as Saidiya Hartman, Christina Sharpe, Sylvia Wynter, Fred Moten, and Tina Campt to frame Black artistic practice as both witness and architect of liberated futures. This annual event is part of Miami Art Week and an official Art Basel Miami satellite exhibition.
