AAS349 Course Event: a thread, a hair, a lineage

Professor Sonya Clark’s work draws from the legacy of crafted objects and the embodiment of skill. For the African American artist, craft is a means to honor her lineage and expand notions of both American-ness and art. Clark is a professor in the Department of Art and the History of Art at Amherst College in western Massachusetts. She holds an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art, and a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In 2015 she was awarded an honorary doctorate from her alma mater, Amherst College. Please send your RSVP to Charmaine Branch, cmbranch@princeton.edu. Cosponsored by the Department of African American Studies, the Department of American Studies, the Department of History, and the Princeton University Art Museum.
