St. Louis Art Museum – Virtual program: Conversation: Who Moved My Memories
With Michael Allen, senior lecturer, architecture, landscape architecture and urban design, Washington University in St. Louis; Cheeraz Gormon, poet; Dana Levy, artist; Gwen Moore, curator of Urban Landscape and Community Identity, Missouri Historical Society; moderated by Hannah Klemm, associate curator of modern and contemporary art
Artist Dana Levy was intrigued by St. Louis native Cheeraz Gormon’s poem “Who Moved My Memories” while in the process of creating video installations for her exhibition Currents 119: Dana Levy, now on view at the Museum. Gormon, Michael Allen, and Gwen Moore are a few of the individuals featured in Levy’s work, The Mississippians, speaking professionally and personally about their relationship with the city of St. Louis. Using the poem and artwork as a guide, panelists will dig deeper into the concepts of preservation, removal, and regrowth.
