Artist to host talk about her work

BRATTLEBORO - The Brattleboro Museum & Art Center will be hosting a free online talk by artist Delita Martin on Wednesday, August 18, at 7:30 pm, about her installation “Between Worlds.”
Through her work, Martin reimagines the roles of Black women in the context of collective Black culture and African history. She reconstructs Black women’s identities by piecing together the signs, symbols, and language found in what could be called everyday life, from slavery through modern times. Martin’s goal is to use images as a visual language to tell the stories of women who have often been marginalized, offering a different perspective of the lives of Black women. She describes her work as creating a “holding” space where language and identity intersect.
The prints on display at BMAC are digital reproductions of her original mixed media work. They will remain on view in the large window bays extending across the front of BMAC’s Union Station building through May 2022. For more information and to register visit brattleboromuseum.org.
