“A Nation Takes Place: Contemporary Art and Maritime Histories”

Speaker: Tia-Simone Gardner, Assistant Professor of Media and Cultural Studies at Macalester College

In this talk Professor Tia-Simone Gardner will talk about the project she co-curated, A Nation Takes Place, at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum. The exhibition examines the ways that contemporary artists, particularly artists of color, continue to call our attention to the power, ecologies and economies of water. 

Prof. Gardner is an interdisciplinary artist, educator, and undisciplined Black feminist geographer, committed to understanding relationships between Blackness and landscape. She is a 2023–24 McKnight Visual Artist Fellow and a 2024 Anonymous was a Woman Environmental Artist Grantee.. Her photography and moving image work has shown both nationally and internationally, and her co-curated exhibition, A Nation Takes Place, is currently on view at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum in Winona, Minnesota.
