Hernandez will engage Chevremont in an intimate conversation about her contributions to Black Venus through Deux Femmes Noires, including Chevremont’s and Mickalene Thomas’ other prolific projects through Deux Femmes Noires, with a special focus on Chevremont’s robust career as a curator, advisor, and collector. A celebratory night of Black womanhood, agency, and the culture-shifting ways Black women continue to shape visual culture.
