Natasha Marin is a conceptual artist whose people-centered projects have circled the globe since 2012 and have been recognized and acknowledged by Art Forum, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the LA Times, NBC, Al Jazeera, Vice, PBS, and others. She is the curator of BLACK IMAGINATION: Black Voices on Black Futures (McSweeney’s, 2020).
Marin came to Bard on October 29, 2021 to introduce herself and her work at a reception on campus, as well as to meet with the Black Imagination at Bard student cohort for the first time, to begin planning their group exhibition.
A group of 10 selected Bard College Annandale students collaborated with Marin over the course of the 2021-2022 academic year to co-curate a multimedia exhibition experience aimed to amplify the resonance of intersectional Black voices on the Bard campus.
This project was a part of “The Future of Form,” a collaborative project between Bard College Annandale’s Written Arts department and the Center for Experimental Humanities. This yearlong speaker and workshop series brought together an exciting group of diverse writers whose creative practices cross disciplinary boundaries and experiment in various ways with form.
