The George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center is honored to host Austin-based artist, Deborah Roberts, for a signing of her new monograph, Deborah Roberts: Twenty Years of Art/Work on Saturday, December 2, 2023! Published by Radius Books, the expansive monograph contains new texts that dive into Roberts’ archive and offers a comprehensive view of one of today’s most significant artists and social observers. An extensive plate section is accompanied by a personal, heartfelt foreword from Dawoud Bey on “the tragic mischaracterization of Black children”; an insightful essay from Ekow Eshun on the social and political histories of innocence, race, and the fractured nature of the contemporary Black experience; a celebratory tribute from Carolyn Jean Martin on the musicality, humility, and generosity of Roberts’ practice; and a free-ranging conversation between Roberts and Sarah Elizabeth Lewis.
