Join us for an artist talk with Jordan Seaberry! A painter, organizer, legislative advocate, and educator, Seaberry’s work is built on compressions of history between his current legislative work and the story of his family’s migration, fleeing a lynching in Mississippi. Most recently, Seaberry has completed a body of mixed-media paintings and sculptures developed in conversation and collaboration with terminally ill hospice patients. On view at the Newport Art Museum, We Live Until explores the topics of grief, life, and death, and how they relate to a larger conversation about human rights and social justice. We invite the community to listen and reflect as Seaberry discusses his practice, recent works, and their relation to current legislative efforts. Seaberry is one of our June artists-in-residence.
