About
Join us for a screening & discussion of POST ATLANTIC: The Art of Dewey Crumpler (2024, 29 mins) with filmmakers Alan Snitow and Deborah Kaufman. Artist Dewey Crumpler will be in attendance, as well. What is a political artist? In POST ATLANTIC, artist Dewey Crumpler struggles with these issues and reveals the evolution of his thinking in beautiful, often abstract paintings that explore slavery, Black liberation, globalization, and pop culture. A crucial figure in the Black Arts Movement from his youth working with the Black Panther Party to his teaching young luminaries like Kehinde Wiley and Adrian Burrell at the San Francisco Art Institute, Dewey has challenged orthodoxies, exclusions, and foregone conclusions. His message of resistance and persistence is immediately relevant to our current moment. POST ATLANTIC: The Art of Dewey Crumpler tells Crumpler’s story and follows him in his studio, at home, at the Oakland port, and at a recent high-profile opening of his new work - “Post Atlantic” - at a New York gallery. The film is not hagiography, but an encounter with what it is to be a working artist with a conscience in a society experiencing turmoil and backlash.
