North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, 1219 Broad Street, Durham, is presenting an exhibition, “Have You Heard…” by Anthony Patterson, through May 26th, 2020.
From the website:
Exhibition statement: “Have You Heard…” is an exhibition about the forgotten and hidden histories of two African-American communities in North Carolina: the city of Wilmington, and the Crest Street Community in Durham. Artist Anthony Patterson takes a documentary approach to painting as his work is informed by historical events and archival media to bring about meaningful conversations.
The works in “Have You Heard…” consist of the ongoing documentation of history by the artist. A Durham native, Patterson has an interest in breaking down how and why his neighborhood and others across the North Carolina have changed over time.
As part of the exhibition, there will be a screening of “Wilmington on Fire,” followed by a discussion with director Christopher Everett, on Thursday, January 10th, 2020, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
“Wilmington on Fire” documents the investigation into the Wilmington Massacre of 1898, the only successful coup in United States history.
