SUMMARY:Re*Membering Mavis Pusey
DESCRIPTION:Re*Membering Mavis Pusey brings together artists\, scholars\, and curators to reflect on the life and legacy of Mavis Pusey (1928–2019)—a pioneering abstract artist whose dynamic prints and paintings capture the rhythm of urban change and the resilience of Black modernity. \n\n\n\nTaking place during the closing weekend of the first major museum survey of Pusey’s work\, the symposium explores questions of visibility\, preservation\, and remembrance. How can acts of conservation and curation become forms of remembrance and care for artists whose legacies have been obscured? How do we care for the material and historical traces of artists whose voices have been overlooked? How can institutions reframe their roles in sustaining the legacies of Black women artists? \n\n\n\nHosted by the Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania with funding support from Terra Foundation for American Art\, the symposium will take place across two days. On Friday\, December 5th\, ICA will host public dialogues featuring notable participants from the field\, including O’Neil Lawrence of the National Gallery of Jamaica\, conservation specialists from the Getty Research Institute and Williamstown + Atlanta Art Conservation Center\, and members of the Studio Museum in Harlem’s leadership and curatorial teams. An invitation-only scholars’ day will occur on Saturday\, December 6th.

SUMMARY:Curating Mavis Pusey: Mobile Images with Hallie Ringle and Kiki Teshome
DESCRIPTION:Join the ICA for an illuminating conversation on the making of Mavis Pusey: Mobile Images\, featuring the exhibition’s organizers\, Hallie Ringle\, ICA’s Daniel and Brett Sundheim Chief Curator\, and Kiki Teshome\, Curatorial Assistant at the Studio Museum in Harlem. \n\n\n\nRingle will share insights into the decade-long research and curatorial process that brought this landmark exhibition to life—the first major museum survey dedicated to Jamaican-born artist Mavis Pusey (1928–2019). Showcasing over 60 artworks from her prolific 50-year career\, the exhibition highlights Pusey’s distinctive approach to abstraction and her engagement with themes that continue to resonate deeply today. \n\n\n\nTeshome will also discuss her work with Pusey’s personal archive—letters\, poems\, and design materials—that offer a rare glimpse into new dimensions of the artist’s life and practice.
