Join us for a lecture with Jennifer Chuong, an assistant professor in the Department of Art History at the U of I. This lecture examines the invention of carborundum mezzotint by the African American artist Dox Thrash (1893-1965), arguing that the technique's significance lies not only in its aesthetic effects but in the labor surrounding its discovery and production.
