Memory,
Representations, and the Black '60s, February 11-12, 2000
 "Memory,
Representations, and the Black '60s" was a two-day event
organized in conjunction with "Mementos," an exhibition of
the work of Kerry James Marshall on view at the Santa Monica Museum
of Art until March 4, 2000. In "Mementos," Marshall
explores the impact of public tragedies upon private lives and
histories. His multi-media installation creates spaces for viewers
to confront both the losses and gains associated with the sixties.
The Cultural Studies in the African Diaspora Project, the Center for
African American Studies at UCLA, and the Santa Monica Museum of Art
invited a range of artists and scholars to reflect upon the impact
of the race politics of the period from a variety of perspectives. <more>
