Webinar to highlight student-curated exhibition on Black portraiture
In January 2020, 16 students in art history professor Jay Curley’s seminar class started researching and studying Black contemporary art for the spring semester. The research included viewing and discussing works in a collection belonging to Wes and Missy Cochran, a LaGrange, Georgia, couple who has amassed more than 700 works. 
Eager to see these works shine a light on Black life and culture, the Cochrans invited students to select works from their collection for an exhibition in Wake Forest’s Hanes Gallery.
The 41 works selected are on exhibit in Wake Forest University’s Hanes Gallery through March 28. Due to pandemic-related restricted access to campus, viewing “Explorations of Self: Black Portraiture from the Cochran Collection” in-person is limited to Wake Forest University students, faculty and staff.
“Representation Matters: Art, Space and Racial Restitution,” a webinar co-sponsored by Hanes Gallery, Wake Forest University’s Slavery, Race and Memory Project and Wake the Arts, will be held Wednesday, Sept. 30 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The panel will be moderated by humanities professor Corey D. B. Walker and feature conversations around the works.
The event is free and open to the public. Registration is required.
