Join American Artist and Taylor Renee Aldridge, independent curator and Executive Director, Modern Ancient Brown Foundation, as they discuss the new exhibition American Artist | Shaper of God: Apple Valley Autonomy. American Artist celebrates the legacy of one of the most inventive science fiction writers in contemporary literature, Octavia E. Butler. This exhibition of sculpture and drawings is part of the artist’s multiyear effort of activations and reflects their complex engagement with the Butler archive at the Huntington Library in San Marino, California, which houses over 8,000 objects donated by Butler after her passing in 2006.
