Art Talks at Brand is a monthly conversation that invites contemporary artists to discuss their work and the issues surrounding it, followed by a moderated Q&A with Brand staff member, artist, and writer Jennifer Remenchik. Art Talks at Brand artists are selected to reflect the diversity of the art scene of the greater Los Angeles area.
Amie Sillah is a visual artist born in The Bronx, NY, now living and working in Los Angeles. Sillah’s practice is lens-based and includes sculpture, performance, and video work. Her work centers on her family’s lived experiences immigrating from The Gambia to New York, and her relationship with photography as a medium to explore the complexities and diversities of Black diasporic life. Currently, in her practice, Sillah centers on topics of memory, performance, and erasure as an act of care. Sillah has presented her work at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art and has shown at thematic group exhibitions at the New Wight Gallery (2024), Black Box Gallery (2023), and the Black Image Center (2023).
The Art Talks at Brand series is sponsored by the Brand Associates. All programs are free and open to the public. Arrive early to view the current exhibition, “Blended Worlds: Experiments In Interplanetary Imagination,” presented in collaboration with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) as part of PST ART: Art & Science Collide.
