Seitu K Jones will share his explorations into George Washington Carver’s legacy as a visual artist, along with the rich color stains and paints Carver created for the residents of the South’s Black Belt. In his talk, Jones will share some of Carver’s recipes and the experience of working with students to build an outdoor oven to recreate some of Carver’s recipes. Jones is a multidisciplinary artist, advocate and maker based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Working between the arts and public spheres, Jones channels the spirit of radical social movements into experiences that foster critical conversations and nurture more just and vibrant communities from the soil up. He is recognized as a dynamic collaborator and a creative force for civic engagement.
This event is presented with the Department of Art Practice and co-sponsored by Berkeley Center for New Media and American Cultures.
