In this episode of Art And..., the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum's student-run podcast, Mollie Wohlforth is joined in conversation by Arts and Community Engagement Intern Relyn Myrthil about a photograph from Lorraine O'Grady's Art Is series. Our conversation considers Lorraine O'Grady's experience of making this series and its illustration of black female joy within a fine arts context that confronts the prevalent depiction of black people within the art historical narrative.
