Baia Talks Humberto Moro, Curator for Elizabeth Catlett: Points of Contact show at SCAD

BAIA Talks

Explore Elizabeth Catlett's influence with curator Humberto Moro. SCAD Group exhibition 'ELIZABETH CATLETT: POINTS OF CONTACT' SEPT. 23, 2021 - JAN. 30, 2022 Presented in the SCAD Museum of Art’s Evans Center for African American Studies, Elizabeth Catlett: Points of Contact is a long overdue exploration of the artist’s profound influence on artistic practice today. The group exhibition brings to view key prints and sculptures by Catlett (1915–2012) — a citizen of both the U.S. and Mexico — in conversation with contemporary works by living artists from both countries. In showcasing the work of contemporary Black American and Mexican artists with strong connections — sometimes direct references — to Catlett’s work, the exhibition demonstrates how the artist’s influences, concerns, and questions are very much alive in global contemporary culture and artistic practice, and highlights the ways in which her works advocate for the dignity of all humans.
