Rose Art Museum In Conversation: Stephen Hamilton

Explore the powerful connections between art, ancestry, and spiritual tradition in this compelling virtual program. Join artist Stephen Hamilton for a virtual conversation with Dr. Kyrah Malika Daniels, Assistant Professor of African American Studies at Emory University. The two will discuss Hamilton’s multimedia work, which he has described as a conceptual and visual bridge between the ancient and modern worlds. Informed by Yorùbá artistic techniques and the close study of West African and Central African religious traditions—including the Kongo cosmogram Dikenga, which maps the human life cycle—Hamilton’s work incorporates meticulous research, skillful technique, and spiritual practice, embodying narratives that are both personal and collective.
