SUMMARY:RAAC Talk - Lee Miller's Photography
DESCRIPTION:Rappahannock author and art scholar Jane Livingston will explore Lee Miller’s photography during this free RAAC program. \nRappahannock movie-goers last year enjoyed Lee\, the acclaimed film featuring American photographer Lee Miller’s exploits as a war correspondent in Europe for Vogue magazine. Miller’s artistic story will be further explored by Livingston in a talk and slide presentation. The former curator and associate director of the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington\, D.C.\, Jane Livingston authored Lee Miller: Photographer\, the definitive book on Miller’s shaping contributions to modern photography. The book accompanied a 1989-1990 exhibit that toured seven cities in the U.S. \nMiller’s life in Paris in the 1920s revolved around her artistic and romantic relationship with Man Ray\, the American artist who became a leading figure in the Surrealist and Dadaist movements. Miller’s works during those years\, and later\, became some of the most memorable images of the era\, when photography was evolving as both an art form and a communication medium for news. \nLivingston will share insights into this pivotal moment for modern art\, along with observations about the life and psychology of Lee Miller herself. \nHearing assistance will be available.

SUMMARY:RAAC Talk - Ken Grossinger
DESCRIPTION:The next RAAC talk will feature Ken Grossinger\, who has published Art Works: How Organizers and Artists are Creating a Better World Together. Some artists stand apart from hot-button issues of the day\, but throughout history\, others have deployed their creativity to push for reforms they support. Art can expose injustice\, offer commentary or mobilize public awareness. Grossinger points to Bryan Stevenson’s Equal Justice Initiative\, which brought together lawyers historians\, artists and architects to construct a cluster of museums in Montgomery\, Alabama\, to delve into\, and dramatize\, the legacies of slavery and racism. In various cities\, hundreds of murals mark the 2020 murder of George Floyd. In Art Works\, Grossinger writes that “if it hadn’t been for music\, the civll rights movement would have been like a bird without wings.” \nThere is no admission charge.

SUMMARY:RAAC Talk - Ben Raines
DESCRIPTION:Author/Filmmaker Ben Raines will talk about his acclaimed book\, The Last Slave Ship. Raines will discuss this true story of the criminal transport of slaves to the U.S. in 1860\, and his own discovery of the evidence on April 9\, 2018. \nThat day\, Raines— the son of Rappahannock resident Susan Raines— dove into a swampy river near Mobile\, Alabama and emerged with a shard of The Clotilda\, the vessel which had carried an illegal cargo of 110 West Africans to Alabama long after the U.S\, had outlawed international trafficking in slaves. The suppressed history of America’s last slave ship came back to life\, prompting a complex reckoning for Alabamans\, who had largely chosen to neglect or even deny this strange chapter in the harrowing saga of plantation slavery in the American South.
