Mutual Admiration: A Talk with Theda Sandiford and Cheryl R. Riley

For the upcoming exhibition, "Each One Teach One: Preserving Legacy in Perpetuity", artists Theda Sandiford and Cheryl R. Riley discuss their artwork and their mentor/mentee relationship.
The artists included in the exhibition speak to their experiences in their own words, translating what can be seen in the power of their art into a narrative that shines a light on the importance of the mentor/mentee relationship. Well-known ATA artists such as Danny Simmons, Ben F. Jones, Gladys Barker Grauer, David Driskell, Willie Cole, and Norman Lewis have all participated in this reciprocal relationship. Featuring sculptural works, paintings, fiber arts, collage, and more this exhibition explores another dimension of Black art and artistry, emphasizing the importance of legacy, community, and the profound impact it has on the arts.
The exhibition opens Friday, March 17: morrismuseum.org/each-one-teach-one
