Small School Artist Talks: Lisa Jarrett
Lisa Jarrett is an artist working in social and visual forms, existing and making work within the African diaspora. Her intersectional practice considers the politics of difference within a variety of settings including schools, landscapes, fictions, racial imaginaries, studios, communities, museums, galleries, walls, mountains, mirrors, floors, rivers, and prisms.
She recently discovered that her primary medium is questions, the most urgent of which is “What will set you free?” She is co-founder/director of projects like KSMoCA (Dr. MLK Jr. School Museum of Contemporary Art), the Harriet Tubman Middle School Center for Expanded Curatorial Practice, and Art 25: Art in the 25th Century.
Small School is an art-based alternative education platform serving Raleigh by providing opportunities to directly engage with prominent national and international visiting artists.
