A Convening for Virgil Abloh: Material Culture and Cultural Memory

Across Virgil’s creative practice is this evidence of a deep understanding of material histories -not only the factual measurables but the emotive associative histoires that give objects their aura and imbued his work with the same auratic energy. Professor Salamishah Tillet and American Artist join us for a discussion of Virgil’s masterful study and manipulation of material histories and the cultural resonance of his practice.
This Talk was filmed live at Design Miami/ 2022.
