In the talk, titled “Black Resilience,” the audience will be given a video tour of the exhibit that opened in New York on Feb. 27 while Black Reconstruction Collective (BRC) members discuss concepts and themes in the works they created for the show.

According to MoMA, the commissioned pieces “explore how people have mobilized black cultural spaces, forms and practices as sites of imagination, liberation, resistance, and refusal.”

Mario Gooden , founding principal of Huff + Gooden Architects and Portman Prize Studio Critic, is a co-founder of the BRC, which has been giving virtual lectures together at universities and institutions around the nation on issues surrounding racial injustice and Black history since the fall.
