Elizabeth Harney, curator of the Fowler's African art exhibition Inscribing Meaning, hosts a talk with LA artists Robbie Conal, Alexandra Grant, and Lezley Saar, further exploring the themes of writing and communication in visual art. Conal's scathing paintings parody conservative political figures; Grant takes a more cerebral course, populating her paintings with speech balloons filled with backwards text; and Saar tackles race in her allegorical, mixed-media pieces, invoking the paradoxes of biracial identity.
