Philly correspondent Theodore A. Harris just sent this along, an great looking event this weekend in Brooklyn:
Sat. December 4th
2-4pm
MoCADA
80 Hanson Place, Brooklyn, NY
Professor, artist and activist Howardena Pindell has created a new anthology. Kara Walker-No, Kara Walker-Yes, Kara Walker-? is a collection of essays written by other contemporary artists, educators, writers and poets discussing controversial artist Kara Walker. Whether you agree with Pindell or not, or whether Walker’s silhouettes appeal to you or not, this book will certainly begin a
conversation about visual culture in the Black community. The talk features a number of authors and artists including Theodore A. Harris, Ben Jones and Rashida Ishmali.

Does Theodore Harris have a website where he posts new work? I couldn’t find anything on google. Thanks!
I know Theodore has a myspace:

I’m not sure about a portfolio site…
Of course every artist should create what they please. I just don’t like Kara Walker’s “art.” It appears to be at the expense of pleasing white art dealers and museums. On the other hand, we get a sculptor like Martin Puryear who no one can define, and yet he brings grace, craft, and humanity to his works.
