Gallery Talk – Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Black Space-Making from Harlem to the Hudson Valley
April 24 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Harrison Brisbon-McKinnon, Vassar Class of 2026 and 2024 Ford Scholar/Pindyck Summer Fellow at the Loeb, discusses their current Spotlight exhibition, Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Black Space-Making from Harlem to the Hudson Valley. The exhibition, organized in conjunction with Great Green Hope for the Urban Blues, complicates the myth of the Hudson Valley as a utopia, asking “Utopia for who?” The works within share the stories of people resisting White settlers’ attempts to craft the myth of the great green hope.
