Join HCCC’s Windgate Curatorial Fellow Cydney Pickens and Houston-based artist Jamal Cyrus for an intimate conversation on "Tree of Life" at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft. This exhibition showcases sculptural objects made from the African blackwood tree, a preferred material choice for ornamental turning, carving, and woodwind instruments due to its naturally dark, nearly black, colored core and unique properties. 

Drawing on his perspective as an artist, community member, and African blackwood collector, Cyrus will share his insights on the exhibition and discuss the role museums play as a source of education and inspiration for artists. This program highlights contemporary curatorial practice while giving voice to the community as important contributors to HCCC’s programming. 

Jamal Cyrus, a Houston native, is known for his expansive practice that incorporates collage and assemblage techniques. His work explores the evolution of African American identity within Black political movements and the African diaspora. With a keen eye for transforming mundane materials into objects with deep meaning, Cyrus brings rich networks of purpose to his art. Notably, he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2023 and received the Driskell Prize from the High Museum of Art in 2020. 

Don't miss this opportunity to gain insight into "Tree of Life" as Jamal Cyrus shares his perspectives at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft on October 28, 2023. Admission is free for this event, so make sure to mark your calendars.
