Join art historian Deborah Lubera Kawsky and artists/muralists Hubert Massey and Ijania Cortez for a visual presentation and panel discussion exploring the media, motivations, and messaging behind mural-making in Metro Detroit. Featured artworks, including recent work by Massey and Cortez as well as a newly-rediscovered mural by midcentury designer Alexander Girard (discussion by Girard author/lecturer Kawsky), will provide fascinating visual and conceptual juxtapositions - and hopefully inspire new mural artists/projects/collaborations. The presentation will include mural imagery by Massey and Cortez - including a preview of Massey’s newest mural project for Stellantis Corporation - to demonstrate their artistic process.
