Clark Art Hosts Talk on Conceptual Autonomy of Kathia St. Hilaire
 |
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Tuesday, Sept. 17, the Clark Art Institute hosts Haitian-American poet, writer, and social critic Patrick Sylvain, Assistant Professor at Simmons University, as he explores the art of contemporary artist Kathia St. Hilaire in "The Conceptual Autonomy of Kathia St. Hiliare."
This free event takes place at 6 pm in the Manton Research Center auditorium.
St. Hilaire's work, currently on view at the Clark in the Lunder Center at Stone Hill, uses reduction relief printing with materials like shredded tires and skin-lightening creams to create textured, multi-layered pieces. Sylvain examines how St. Hilaire’s work is deeply rooted in her Haitian heritage, engaging in meaningful conversations about history, identity, and the power of art to inspire change.
Free. Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524.
