Purdue University Galleries invites you to join us THIS THURSDAY, Nov. 10 from 5:30 - 7 pm for an artist reception for "Robert Pruitt: Escape Velocity," in the Robert L. Ringel Gallery in Stewart Center.
Robert Pruitt makes drawings and sculptures about the complexity of black identity by combining contrasting signs and imagery of disparate Black influences and aesthetics. He layers Science Fiction, Hip Hop, comic books, and black political and social struggles into portraits of his friends and community.
The reception will include comments by the artist at 5:45 pm. Afterwards, members of the Haraka Writers from Purdue’s Black Cultural Center will share original poems inspired by Pruitt’s drawings.
For more information, go to cla.purdue.edu/galleries.
Hope to see you in the Galleries!
