More Information
In collaboration with the Ralph Ellison Foundation, Oklahoma Contemporary presents an evening celebrating Melvin Edwards’ In Oklahoma exhibition with dynamic performances by spoken-word and dance artist Candace Liger and West African percussionist Aboubacar Camara. Combining poetic and musical expression with bodies in motion, the ensemble will respond to Edwards’ site-specific sculptures. Performers will animate a dialogue about memory and heritage, bondage and liberation, and history and freedom that viewers can see in Edwards’ works. This free event will include drinks and light refreshments.
