Afrikin Talks: Ethical Practices in the Arts
Dec 05, 2025
From: 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Urgent questions of equity, reparative justice and cultural stewardship take center stage at AfriKin Talks: Ethical Practices in the Arts, part of the 2025 AfriKin Art Fair at the Scott Galvin Community Center on December 5. This roundtable gathers artists, curators, scholars and cultural leaders to examine how the art world can move beyond extractive practices and toward accountability, historical repair, and inclusive futures.
Moderated by Dr. Allison K. Young, art historian and curator, the discussion brings together a panel of global voices: Allison Glenn, curator of the 2026 Toronto Biennial of Art; Gia M. Hamilton, applied anthropologist and founder of Gris Gris Lab; Lisa Anderson, London-based curator and founder of @blackbritishart; and Joseph L. Underwood, Ph.D., AfriKin Art Fair curator and specialist in African and Diaspora art history.
The program invites academic partners, collectors, philanthropists and cultural institutions to engage with frameworks for ethical artistic engagement while fostering dialogue rooted in the perspectives of Global Africa and its Diaspora.
