Talk 1: The Spirit of Place: Detroit as Muse
Detroit is more than a city—it is a muse that inspires, challenges, and shapes the creative voices rooted in its landscape. This conversation explores how Detroit’s geography, history, and communities inform artistic practice, weaving together stories of resilience, identity, and imagination.
Moderated by Omo Misha, the discussion will feature:
Elonte Davis – artist whose work engages with community, culture, and the lived realities of Detroit.
Kristine Burns – multidisciplinary artist exploring themes of place, identity, and creative resilience.
Dominick Lemonious – visual artist whose practice draws on cultural memory and fantastical reimagining’s grounded in Detroit’s spirit.
Together, these artists will reflect on the city as both inspiration and collaborator, examining how Detroit continues to shape artistic vision and cultural expression
