Artist Talks provide a rare opportunity for art lovers to meet living artists and get the inside story on their artistic process and what inspires them.
Artist Talk / An Evening with Teju Cole
Friday, February 14 / 6PM-7PM
In both writing and photography, Teju Cole combines his eye for beauty with his capacity to perceive human and civic truth. A prodigious novelist, critic, and photographer, Cole was born in the US and raised in Nigeria — a biographical fact that informs much of his work. Hailed by Salman Rushdie as “among the most gifted writers of his generation,” Teju reminds us “to embrace the complexity of others, and to see in the darkness not only despair but also understanding and even refuge” (The Guardian).
