Artist Conversation | Jamel Shabazz
Jamel Shabazz is one of the acclaimed artists featured in Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys. Join us for a conversation between Shabazz and Dr. LaCharles Ward, Supervisory Museum Curator of Photography and Film and Director of the Earl W. and Amanda Stafford Center for African American Media Art at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History & Culture.
Known for his vibrant street photography, Shabazz captured the emergence of hip-hop culture, presenting images of urban youth with dignity and respect in an effort to combat negative stereotypes of Black communities. Dr. Ward will talk with Shabazz about his practice and experience, beginning with 1980s New York and continuing to the present.
