Episode 1 defines FOLK ART: an especially unique art form heralded by the African-American community. It also chronicles the rise of African-American Folk Artist, Ezekiel Gibbs, who began his career at age 86. Gibbs, at the time, was the oldest working artist in Texas and quickly gained popularity in his community and across the country.
Episode 2 defines INSTALLATION ART and features Annette Lawrence: an African-American installation artist with a special interest in the passage of time and an environmentally conscious workflow that makes the most of commonplace material. From recycled string to junk mail, Annette wastes nothing from everyday life.
Life Through Art takes art appreciation further by looking at the journey of each artist and capturing the essence of where it led them.
Every episode provides:
The Denton Black Film Festival shares the traditions, ideas, and experiences of the Black community in a multitude of ways. Each festival (held annually in January) features Black cinema, music, art, spoken word, comedy, food, and fashion as their way of bringing the Black experience to life.
