Artist Talk and Testimonial on Ethiopian Modernist Painter in Oklahoma, Gebrekristos Desta
In 1979, Ethiopian abstract painter Gebre Kristos Desta, who was celebrated for large geometric abstract paintings, fled Ethiopia under a violent political regime. In early 1980, he settled in Lawton, Oklahoma as a refugee supported by Catholic Charities, where he lived and made work for the last year of his life. Join contemporary Ethiopian artist, Bekele Mekonnen, director of the Gebrekristos Desta Art Center at Addis Ababa University, for an artist’s talk and celebration of the legacy of Gebre Kristos Desta as he collaborates with OU students on a mural for downtown Norman. A complimentary dinner for RSVP attendees will follow the event. Sponsored by the Norman Arts Council and African Studies Institute, OU.
