Hear Bay Area artists Angela Hennessy, Hannah Waiters, and Mattie Loyce discuss the lasting impact of Faith Ringgold’s creative and community work. Devine Malone, our director of public programs and community engagement, will moderate.
About the speakers
Angela Hennessy (she/her) is an Oakland-based artist and associate professor at California College of the Arts where she teaches courses on visual and cultural narratives of death in contemporary art. Through writing, studio work, and performance, her practice questions assumptions about death and the dead themselves. She uses a spectrum of color and other phenomena of light to expose mythologies of identity. Ephemeral and celestial forms are constructed by everyday gestures of domestic labor — washing, wrapping, stitching, weaving, brushing, and braiding. angelahennessy.com
Hannah Waiters (she/her/they/them) was born, raised, and trained to make art in the Bay Area (of Ohlone land), and is a visual researcher, conceptual artist, and educator. Her interdisciplinary research-based art practice interests include museum studies, Black Atlantic philosophy, historical phenomenology in art history, and historical materialism. In 2021 Waiters earned an MFA in fine arts and an MA in visual and critical studies at California College of the Arts. @waiter2z
Mattie Loyce (she/they) is an interdisciplinary artist, curator, facilitator, and community advocate. Critically engaging sociopolitical content and encouraging empowerment through decolonial and holistic collaborations are key to their community work and socially engaged artist practice. Throughout their career and across continents, they have made a commitment to amplifying and supporting the lives of people with marginalized identities, specifically people and artists of the African diaspora, queer people, and people of color. mattieloyce.com
Devin Malone (they/them) is a cultural producer based in California. They have produced education programs at Dia Art Foundation, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Studio Museum in Harlem, among others. Always in collaboration, Malone develops engagement programs that prioritize sustained reciprocal relationships with historically underserved artists and communities. They hold an MA in museum and exhibition studies from the University of Illinois Chicago and a BA in anthropology from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. They are currently the director of public programs and community engagement at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
