Based on Alexis Pauline Gumbs’ forthcoming book of poetic indexes, this interactive poetic lecture explores the life, teaching, and artwork of color theorist Alma Thomas. Engaging themes of audience, intimacy, abstract expressionist art, and the dynamic relationship between Black women’s creativity and the process of being Earth, the lecture invites participants into a rhythmic dialogue of form, meaning, and presence.
