SPACES OF ERASURE
In conjunction with the exhibition, Under The Sheltering Sky, Peter Macapiapresents a lecture discussing buildings and spaces that have been erased from the history of Black American experience. Through a series of historical and political analyses, we ask: what is the difference between the disappearance of space and spaces of erasure?
The sites of erasure we will examine in this talk include the Slave Theater in Brooklyn (1984), Black Wall Street in Tulsa – the Tulsa Massacre (1921) and Osage Avenue in Philadelphia (1985).
Peter Macapia’s work in art, architecture, and philosophy explores geopolitics and space. He is a visiting critic at Columbia and Yale and the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships, including the Presidential Fellowship from Columbia University where he received his PhD.
Hours: Thursday-Sunday, 9am-5pm.
Tickets may be purchased in-person. Advanced entry tickets are available through our website newbedfordart.org or by phone (508) 961-3072
