We Are One | Artist Talk and Presentation with Bryan Keith Thomas
Sunday, October 4, 2026
In his talk and presentation, “We Are One,” Bryan Keith Thomas explores and celebrates the rich cultural heritage of the Black South. Drawing on themes of ancestry, spirituality, and collective memory, Thomas uses symbols such as cotton, roses, and church fans to evoke the emotional and cultural landscapes that shape identity.
Rooted in African spiritual traditions, his work creates a dialogue between past and present, reflecting enduring themes of freedom, resilience, and liberation. Thomas invites audiences to consider their own histories and the legacies that shape who we are, while offering a deeper understanding of the Black experience in America.
