In anticipation of the museum opening in downtown Los Angeles in 2015, The Broad started The Un-Private Collection, a series of art talks featuring cultural leaders in conversation with contemporary artists in the Broad collections which takes place at venues around L.A.
On October 11, Kara Walker, whose work depicts the utter depravity of the antebellum South with unflinching clarity, will be in conversation with Ava DuVernay, filmmaker and winner of the 2012 Sundance Best Director Award. Two of the most celebrated artists working today use narratives drawn from real life experiences to tell important stories from the perspective of African-American women. The recent success of Kara Walker's Sugar Baby installation at the Domino Sugar factory in Brooklyn and Ava DuVernay's much anticipated film Selma are bringing difficult yet vital American histories to a wide-ranging public. This dialogue will be an opportunity to hear insights on their art making across the disciplines of visual art and filmmaking.
This talk is sold out.
Standby line: A standby line will be available at the Writers Guild Theater starting at 12 p.m. the day of the event. Available tickets will be sold to the standby line on a first come, first served basis. Standby line is not guaranteed tickets.
Watch the livestream: The talk will be streamed live at www.thebroad.org at 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 11.
