Zoe Charlton, Baltimore-based African-American artist featured in 'A Complex Weave', Perlman Teaching Museum exhibition, will speak about her provocative and beautiful figure drawings in the context of race, class and gender issues. Initially drawn to the nude as devoid of socially determined markers, Charlton soon used the nude to explore notions of 'passing' for membership in another group by adopting specific accessories and postures.
