The Birmingham Museum of Art is thrilled to partner with Thank You Books for a conversation featuring Imani Perry and André Holland. Perry, a National Book Award-winning author, and Holland, an acclaimed actor most recently starring in Exhibiting Forgiveness directed by artist Titus Kaphar, will discuss Perry’s newest work, Black in Blues: How a Color Tells the Story of My People.
The book explores both the color blue and Blackness, from their earliest roots to their many embodiments within contemporary culture, and draws deeply from Perry’s own life as well as art and history. A selection of Perry’s books will be for sale and a book signing will follow the discussion.
TICKET INFORMATION: The ticket price includes the price of one copy of "Black in Blues," plus processing fees.
