Artists-in-Dialogue: Robin Rhode and Flash Gordon Parks

Signature Series | A Conversation About Art + Urban Spaces

Thursday, November 10, 2022 | 6:00pm-8:00pm
Moody Center for the Arts | Lois Chiles Studio Theater

On November 10th, guests joined the Moody Center for the Arts and Project Row Houses for an Artists-in-Dialogue event that brought together two creative minds in a conversation around the visual arts and music.  

Organized in conjunction with the Moody's fall exhibition Urban Impressions: Experiencing the Global Contemporary Metropolis, the visual artist Robin Rhode, who lives and works in Berlin, was joined by Flash Gordon Parks, an ethnomusicologist and DJ from Houston. During their conversation, they evoked their individual practices, and their work with different communities, and explored how urban culture is informed by various narratives from the past that shape our present. 

The conversation was moderated by Danielle Burns Wilson, Curator & Art Director, Project Row Houses, and Frauke V. Josenhans, Curator, Moody Center for the Arts.
