AFROPUNK Pictures In Association With Weeksville Heritage Center presents: The TRIPTYCH

This short-film series highlights the work of artists Sanford Biggers, Wangechi Mutu, and Barron Claiborne. A Q&A moderated by Esther Armah will follow the screening. Live music and after party hosted by Angelo Moore. Supported By Heineken and Tribeca Film Institute. 

The TRIPTYCH is a unique and profound documentary series, profiling some of the most outspoken visual artists of our time. Produced by AFROPUNK pictures, the documentary is itself a work of art, featuring three intimate 20-minute conversations with three bold and culturally resonant voices. Each piece is a reflection on the artists' respective life experiences, letting the viewer discover how those observations have shaped the art they create.

The first in the series features Sanford Biggers, Wangechi Mutu and Barron Claiborne: contemporaries, luminaries and friends. Their creations span the artistic gamut from interdisciplinary to photography, installation to performance; their keen reflections on the world are at once startling and insightful.

Barron Claiborne joins nascent director Terence Nance whose new film, An Oversimplification of Her Beauty, premiered at Sundance 2012. Terence makes art as a means of creating culture. 

Afropunk is dedicated to supporting and disseminating the work of visual artists who are material to our society.

As space is limited, advance purchase of nonrefundable tickets for general admission and a reserved seat at the screening is recommended via www.museumtix.com.
