Romare Bearden Cinque Artist Series at HSA Presents Adrienne Elise Tarver

Romare Bearden Foundation presents the
Cinque Artist Program Series at Harlem School of the Arts

ARTIST TALK WITH ADRIENNE ELISE TARVER

In her work, multimedia artist Adrienne Elise Tarver asks, “If mythologies from an imperialistic past can so thoroughly permeate our present identities, can we re-configure the narrative to create new realities?” Through paintings, photographs, videos, and immersive installations, she seeks to open access to origin stories, drawing attention to the abundant mythologies of the black woman and her interchangeable identities.

Join us as we talk with Adrienne Elise Tarver about the historical and artistic references referred to in her work as well as the themes of otherness, origin stories, false narratives, and mythologies–all as they relate to the black woman in the Western landscape.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Adrienne Elise Tarver is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in New York. Her work addresses the complexity and invisibility of the black female identity in the Western landscape–from the history within domestic spaces to the fantasy of the tropical seductress.

She has been featured in online and print publications including ArtNet, Brooklyn Magazine, Blouin Art Info, Whitewall Magazine, Hyperallergic, Ingenue Magazine, among others.

She is currently the Director of Art & Design and Director of the HSA Gallery at Harlem School for the Arts in Harlem, New York and Residency Advisor for Trestle Art Space. She received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and BFA from Boston University. [Photo above by Ian Witlen]
