Adrian Piper’s work changed the way I do my work as an art historian. I talk about Piper’s artworks that have most impacted me, as do @chloerbass & Jason Moran @morethan88 in this interview by @siddhmi @villagevoice villagevoice.com/2018/04/27/pro…

@mlobelart @yaleARTbooks @yalepress Fantastic! Congratulations!

Enjoyed seeing @clarenheywardart's portraits of kids in all-American, Evel Knievel-style crash helmets -- a compelling allegory for Black potential that acknowledges the risk-taking required to get ahead in the face of American anti-Blackness, at @artspacenc

@delia_cosentino @DePaulU @NewberryLibrary Cool! Does it have illustrations by Covarrubias, too?

@KRingelberg @david_getsy @ElizaSteinbock Thought-provoking panel & Q&A. I enjoyed both and left with lots to think about

How are we asking the same question 60 years later: “Should we teach negro history in public schools?”

@julietsperling He was! I'm glad to know you teach Kimowan's work

I remember stopping to look at Kimowan Metchewais's work on my way to classes in Hanes Art Center. Now I teach it in my own courses. He was an incredible artist.

Enjoying memories of Cree artist Kimowan Metchewais, my friend & @UNCArtDept @UNC colleague. Thank you, @WendyRedStar, for reminding us of Kimowan's wit, sarcasm, & outlook on art & life. nytimes.com/2023/02/03/opi…

@julietsperling @TheHuntington It's a striking portrait! I'm glad the museum plans to exhibit it

Viewed this new acquisition in the @TheHuntington conservation lab yesterday & left with so many questions about who, when, where, why...art historians, where do you think this was made and when?

Looking forward to Christa Clarke's lecture today 👇 #ARTH287 #ARTH987

What do we mean, exactly, when we talk about making #digitalarthistory (#DAH) “more inclusive? #JournalPanorama is online and #openaccess; does that count? Or is it something more? In today’s #AHAATakeover we highlight #DAH content in our current issue.
