Art & Insight: Kate Capshaw, Sergei Grant & Franklin Sirmans
Dec 03, 2024
From: 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM
Join Pérez Art Museum Miami on Tuesday, December 3, for Art & Insight: A Talk with Kate Capshaw, Sergei Grant, and Franklin Sirmans. This engaging discussion marks the opening of Kate Capshaw: Exclusive Tonsorial Services at PAMM and explores the intersection of art, storytelling and socioeconomics in contemporary America.
The talk features artist Kate Capshaw, her portrait subject Sergei (Sirj) Grant and PAMM Director Franklin Sirmans. Capshaw’s work delves into the tradition of portrait painting to narrate individual experiences that reflect broader societal themes. For this new installation, Capshaw engaged in a months-long collaboration with Grant, a Miami-born barber and mentor whose journey from challenges to triumph serves as the centerpiece of the exhibition.
Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis, and the conversation will also be live-streamed on YouTube Live with a recording available afterward. Simultaneous interpretation in American Sign Language, Haitian Creole and Spanish will be provided.
