Penny Stamps Speaker Series Special Event: Meleko Mokgosi, "Pan-African Pulp"

When: Sat., Sept. 21, 7:30-8:30 p.m. 2019

For his UMMA commission, Botswana-born artist Meleko Mokgosi explores the history of Pan-Africanism, the global movement to unite ethnic groups of sub-Saharan African descent. Entitled "Pan-African Pulp," the exhibition features large-scale panels inspired by African photo novels of the 1960s and ’70s, a mural examining the complexity of blackness, posters from Pan-African movements founded in Detroit and Africa in the 1960s, and stories from Setswana literature.
