Roll Call: Two Hundred Years of Black American Art opens with a conversation with Richard Dial, Roscoe Hall, and Celestia Morgan, three Birmingham-area artists featured in the exhibition, and moderated by Jade Powers, Hugh Kaul Curator of Contemporary Art at the Birmingham Museum of Art. Through photography, painting, and sculpture, the panel will explore the ways personal narrative, cultural memory, and lived experience shape each artist’s practice while reflecting broader histories tied to race, place, labor, family, and systemic inequity in the American South. Together, the artists will discuss how their works engage both personal and collective histories, transforming regional experiences into powerful contributions to the ongoing story of Black American art. 

Tickets to the event are limited, and registration for members and non-members is required. Members will receive free entry to the evening’s events. Event admission for non-members, including access to the Roll Call: Two Hundred Years of Black American Art exhibition, is $19.71.
