Art League Houston is presenting a panel with its exhibition, “Aujourd’hui Causons Avec Nos Aïeux: Intimate and Foreign” by Rosine Kouamen. The panel will examine the African immigrant experience as it relates to contemporary art-making.

Panelists will focus on how traditional values and regional cultures relate to a contemporary approach to African art, as well as explore how African artists translate personal and cultural identity into their work. They will also cover West African and American hair culture.

Panelists include artist Regina Agu, Menil curator of collections Paul R. Davis, arts writer Garry Reece and artist Rosine Kouamen.
