Antwaun Sargent on Dismantling Traditional Relationships With Art and the Widening of Possibility

Author, editor and critic Antwaun Sargent examines contemporary art with a proficient visual critique that has established his writing as an essential addition to a variety of publications on art. Antwaun’s curatorial focus is photography and in particular emerging and under-recognized photographers of color, whom he profiled exclusively in his first book. His upcoming exhibition, titled Just Pictures, will be released with Barrett Barrera Projects in September 2020. In this episode Antwaun discusses contextualizing photography as fine art, the converging of art with other social and creative platforms, and the inevitability of change.
