Miami, FL – April 27, 2019 – Guests welcomed Sandra Jackson-Dumont, Frederick P. and Sandra P. Rose Chairman of Education at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, to our third Scholl Lecture of the season at PAMM. Jackson-Dumont highlighted her extensive work on and knowledge of artist Kerry James Marshall, gathered while producing the symposium and publication “Kerry James Marshall: A Creative Convening.” She detailed Marshall’s commitment to presenting powerful and centrally visible Black bodies and his insistence on #blackexcellence while emphasizing the important role of museums as sites to discuss resounding public issues. Kerry James Marshall’s work “Campfire Girls,” 1995, on loan from the De Ying Foundation, is currently on view at PAMM as part of collection exhibition “The Gift of Art” in the second floor Nedra and Ron Kalish Gallery. The Scholl Lecture Series is made possible thanks to a generous gift from Dennis and Debra Scholl.
