MOCAD LIVE
Akeem Smith and Damon Davis are two artists who practice the method of gathering materials and images to construct narratives around culture and identity in their work.

Both artists will be in conversation with Associate Professor of Art History at Wayne State University, Samantha Noel, and moderated by MOCAD Senior Curator Jova Lynne, where they will share about their process for gathering stories and more in this in depth discussion.
