This event is free and open to the public.

Join the SCAD Museum of Art for an in-depth conversation between Michael Chaney, SCAD film and television professor, and Turner Prize-nominated artist and master of the film installation Isaac Julien. This event accompanies the opening of Lessons of the Hour, a new, five-channel installation in the museum’s Experimental Gallery that explores the life and work of the visionary 19th-century African American abolitionist and orator Frederick Douglass.

Julien creates multi-screen installations and photographs that incorporate different artistic disciplines to create a poetic and unique visual language. Born in 1960 in London, he is one of the most prominent figures at the intersection of media art and cinema today.
