In Episode 11, we listen to Dejay Duckett, the lead curator of the 2023 “Rising Sun: Artists in an Uncertain America” exhibit, and the Vice President of Curatorial Services at the African American Museum of Philadelphia. In a conversation on memory and the power of art in childhood, Dejay reflects on a painting that had a deep impact on her vision of herself and her father. She explores lesser-known sides of the history of AAMP and the crucial way that art can promote a sense of belonging and inclusion.
