On Friday, March 10, from 2:30–4pm, vanessa german will be in conversation with Sanford Biggers, Tau Lewis, Christopher Myers, and Renée Stout at the National Gallery of Art on the occasion of the current exhibition, Called to Create: Black Artists of the American South. This program will explore how the exhibition’s themes, artists, and their practices have entered various new worlds—from galleries, to museums, to artists’ studios, to academia—and to what extent they have transformed one another. The event is preceded by a reading from Lisa Gail Collins and followed by a performance by Lonnie Holley.

In summer 2023, german will be part of the exhibition Pulling Together, which will explore the role of monuments in the telling of American history and mark the first organized group exhibition on The National Mall.
