Jacob and Gwendolyn Knight Lawrence Lecture: Sarah Workneh with Jon Gray

The Walter and Linda Evans Center for African American Studies welcomes Sky High Farm co-executive director Sarah Workneh in conversation with Ghetto Gastro co-founder Jon Gray for this year's Jacob and Gwendolyn Knight Lawrence Lecture. Their discussion takes inspiration from the practice of Michi Meko, whose works on view in the SCAD Museum of Art's Evans Center gallery address and process "the African American experience navigating public spaces while remaining buoyant within them." Workneh and Gray are both adept at fostering greater accessibility within historically hostile worlds, from fine art and culinary scenes to pursuits in nature. Together, they reflect on their experiences shaping public spaces and centering Blackness in their work.

This event is free and open to the public. It is presented by the SCAD Museum of Art's Walter and Linda Evans Center for African American Studies with generous support from the Jacob and Gwendolyn Knight Lawrence Foundation.
