Event Description: Saginaw, Mich.—The Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum, located on the campus of Saginaw Valley State University is pleased to host a free film screening for Black Art in the Absence of Light on February 8, 2025, at 1:00pm in the Rhea Miller Theater at SVSU. Following the film screening attending guests are invited to delve deeper into the art and stories explored in the film and view the David C. Driskell & Friends: Creativity, Collaboration, & Friends exhibition at the Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum. This powerful film centers on the landmark 1976 exhibition, Two Centuries of Black American Art, curated by the late artist and scholar David C. Driskell. Featuring over 200 works by 63 artists, the exhibition was a groundbreaking celebration of Black artistry in 19th- and 20th-century America. Its profound influence reshaped the art world, inspiring generations of African American artists to claim their rightful place in the 21st century.
