The New Orleans Center for the Gulf South, Antenna, and Tulane University’s Office of Multicultural Affairs present a talk by artist and activist Dread Scott. Scott first gained national attention for his controversial work What is the Proper Way to Display a U.S. Flag?, 1988, and the artist is currently producing a full-scale reenactment of the 1811 German Coast slave revolt in Louisiana. Read more about this upcoming project in an interview with Lydia Y. Nichols on the Art Review.
