A Celebration of John Wilson

For over six decades, artist John Wilson (1922–2015) created powerful and poetic works that reflected his ongoing quest for racial, social, and economic justice. Join a panel of experts to celebrate Wilson as a global visionary and a truthful voice in response to the turbulent times in which he lived. Take a deep dive into the themes explored throughout the exhibition Witnessing Humanity: The Art of John Wilson and celebrate Wilson’s unparalleled work and vision.

This program is made possible in part by the IFPDA Foundation.
