John Akomfrah, The Stuart Hall Project (still), 2013.

The Dean of the School of Art, Jorge Oliver, is pleased to invite you to a special screening of John Akomfrah’s documentary The Stuart Hall Project in conjunction with Pieces of You, Pieces of Me, on view in the Schafler Gallery through Sept. 28. Admission is free and open to all. Join us for a special screening of The Stuart Hall Project at the e-flux Screening Room on September 12 at 6pm. RSVP required.

Presented in collaboration with e-flux as part of the public programs accompanying the Pieces of You, Pieces of Me exhibition. Directed by John Akomfrah, the film follows the late public intellectual Stuart Hall’s journey from Jamaica to London, and his foundational contribution to the field of cultural studies. The School of Art is proud to partner with e-flux – a neighboring arts organization that aims to connect art institutions to international audiences while creating room for critical discourse in art, architecture, film and theory. The screening will be followed by a conversation with the exhibition’s curators Nande Walters and Skye Prosper, and a gathering.

Pieces of You, Pieces of Me is the third annual School of Art student exhibition in partnership with Pratt’s Department of Exhibitions exploring how identity is reflected in students’ creative expression. Curated by Pratt School of Art alumni Nande Walters (’22) and Skye Prosper (’23) the exhibition weaves a diasporic web connecting culture, art, and personal identity through literal and abstract representations. The exhibition features fifteen artists whose roots span North America, the Caribbean, and Africa. Through this exhibition, the curators aim to challenge and expand racial and historical narratives by presenting these artists’ visions for the future and fabulated alternatives to the past.
