Revolutionary Art with Dread Scott
Join us for a powerful and thought-provoking conversation with renowned interdisciplinary artist Dread Scott, recorded live at the Boston Public Library on the eve of Juneteenth 2025. In this event, part of BPL’s “Revolutionary Art” series, Dread Scott shares the stories behind his most iconic works—from flag-burning protests to large-scale reenactments of slave rebellions—and explores the role of art in confronting injustice, reimagining history, and inspiring liberation.
Moderated by Dr. Lizzie Cooper Davis, this conversation dives deep into themes of protest, freedom, Black joy, and the radical potential of art to shape the future.
