Featuring the work of Mark Bradford, Rotimi Fani-Kayode, Ivan Forde, Maya Freelon and Manuel Mendive, this exhibition explores how memories (both personal and historical) are reshaped and reimagined by contemporary Black artists in the Escalette Permanent Collection of Art. These works will also be displayed in Roosevelt Hall when possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scalar.chapman.edu\/scalar\/beginagain\/index?path=index\">LINK TO VIRTUAL EXHIBIT<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>About this Exhibit<\/h3>\n<p>Using a virtual platform has allowed us to share more about the artists, their work, and their ideas than would have been possible with a physical exhibition. Here are some unique features of <em>Begin\/Again:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Using links, videos, and call-out boxes, this virtual experience invites visitors to follow some of the strands of thought that each artist carefully wove into the fabric of their work.<\/li>\n<li>Most importantly, this digital format allows us to foreground the voices of the artists themselves. Through video interviews and extended quotations from essays, this virtual exhibit serves as a platform for these five artists to share their experiences and thoughts in their own words.<\/li>\n<li>Lastly, our virtual exhibition allows you, the visitor, to participate in the ongoing dialogue surrounding these artists and their works. We encourage you to share your questions, thoughts, or memories using the comment bubble icon at the bottom of each page. These reflections can be as personal or academic, informal or formal, as you\u2019d like, and can take whatever form (whether short paragraph, poem, video, artwork, etc.) that best expresses your idea.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3565\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3565\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2020\/08\/Maya-Freelon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3565\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2020\/08\/Maya-Freelon.jpg\" alt=\"Colorful print by Maya Freelon\" width=\"580\" height=\"761\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3565\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maya Freelon, Begin\/Again, spinning tissue ink monoprint, 2017.

Sometimes the water table is deep underground. Rotimi Fani-Kayode and Manuel Mendive draw on African cultural and spiritual traditions centuries old. Ivan Forde, looking to the <em>Epic of Gilgamesh<\/em>, reaches back millennia to tap into a wellspring of inspiration. All five artists mark memories in the sense of honoring them as well as literally manifesting them in their visual artworks. Bringing personal and shared memories to the surface, this work bears witness, confronts, replenishes, and sustains.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"body_copy\">\n<p>This exhibition is titled\u00a0<em>Begin\/Again<\/em>\u00a0after a work in the Escalette Collection by Maya Freelon. At a time when we confront a wasteland\u00a0and the possibility of substantive change seems to move further away, these two words are more important than ever. Memories\u2014uncovered, examined, and offered in an act of faith that we can indeed move forward\u2014allows us to Begin\/Again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Begin\/Again: Marking Black Memories<em>\u00a0is curated by Lindsay Shen and Jessica Bocinski.
