Ruby Fridays: Déracinement—Trees in the Art of Edouard Duval-Carrié

Drop by the Ruby at noon on Friday for a casual art talk and free lunch! Speakers include Duke faculty and students who have produced work during a Rubenstein Arts Center arts project residency, as well as visiting artists and local NC creatives. Learn about the behind-the-scenes aspect of the creative process, careers in the arts, and more.

Édouard Duval-Carrié

Édouard Duval-Carrié is a Haitian sculptor and painter educated at McGill University and the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris. He is in residence in the Ruby during much of September and October, collaborating with local artists over the art exhibit and event series called Visionary Aponte: Art & Black Freedom.

For his Ruby Friday talk, Duval-Carrié will reflect on the many representations of trees in his work, and speak about a new project building a monumental sculpture of a baobab tree in the new Musée des Civilizations Noires being inaugurated in Dakar, Senegal in January, 2019.
