Alumnae Veronica Jackson (BS Arch) and Andrea Douglas (MA ArtH, PHD ArtH) and Executive Director of the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center, come together to discuss visual culture's role in shaping Black identity. The conversation highlights three iterations of Jackson's BLACKTIVISTS series, on display in the Campbell East Wing Gallery from Nov 5–25, and Swords Into Plowshares, an innovative project spearheaded by the Jefferson School to melt down Charlottesville's former bronze statue of Robert E. Lee and transform it into a new work of public art.
