Live Virtual Local Views at PAMM: T. Eliott Mansa

Thursday, June 18th from 6-6:30pm experience a live, virtual ‘Local Views at PAMM’, with Miami artist T. Eliott Mansa at the Pérez Art Museum Miami. Enjoy PAMM’s in-gallery tour program, Local Views at PAMM is where select local artists speak about a few works of art currently on view at the museum. This week, T. Eliott Mansa will lead the tour on Facebook Live and YouTube Live. Mansa has developed an assemblage practice that incorporates materials from roadside memorials, applying ritual practices from West African, Caribbean, and Southern religious and vernacular sculptural traditions. Mansa was born in Miami, Florida and took a circuitous educational path through the Yale School of Art, Maryland Institute College of Art, to receive his MFA from CUNY-Hunter College in 2018, and his BFA from the University of Florida in 2000.

“As we continue to function in a digital sphere, PAMM remains dedicated to Miami-based artists and is excited to offer our Local Views at PAMM series weekly. Artists will discuss their artistic practice, their creative process, and how it relates to the museum.” Local Views at PAMM gives visitors a first-hand interaction with local artists by creating conversations centered around art and the creative process. This casual 30-minute conversation takes place on the fourth Thursday of each month.
