What To Expect:
Born in Flint, Michigan and groomed by Alabama, Virginia and New York, Will’s keen ability to extract accurate recollection of his experiences or his thoughts on said experience is profound. Will exploits symbols, popular culture, and the likeness of figures throughout humanity, to stage acts. Acts that aren’t inherently fact nor fiction–though rather a concentrated collection of context to be used as a lense as which to add atop what you deem as fact or fiction.

During the conversation, we will discuss Porter’s approach in his work and the context of his art which promopts thought and discussion on social and or political issues.

As we conclude this insightful webinar on systemic racism through the lens of artistry during Black History Month, let us remember that art has the power to reflect, challenge, and transform societal narratives. The works of the featured artist have served as a poignant mirror, inviting us to confront the deep-rooted structures of inequality. As we move forward, may we carry these revelations into our collective journey towards justice and equality. Let the conversation sparked today be a catalyst for continued reflection, dialogue, and meaningful action. Together, let us strive for a world where art continues to be a beacon of change and a powerful force in dismantling systemic racism.
