Racine Art Museum (RAM) in downtown Racine, Wisconsin is pleased to announce a
free virtual discussion with Miami, Florida-based artist Edouard Duval-Carrié at 6:00 pm CDT on Thursday, June 30. Broadcasting simultaneously via Zoom and Facebook Live, this dialogue hosted by RAM Curator of Exhibitions Lena Vigna offers an intimate glimpse into the life and work of the internationally recognized artist, educator, and curator.

Art Bridges, a foundation dedicated to expanding access to American art across the nation, loaned work by Duval-Carrié to RAM for the exhibition, Blurry Boundaries: Contemporary Artists, Imagination, and the Spaces Between . The artist’s large-scale two-dimensional work addresses the propaganda of paradise, responding to the way historical imagery sometimes diminished cultural identity in the Caribbean.

Registration for the Zoom meeting is available on the RAM website, ramart.org. Registrants will receive a confirmation email containing the Zoom link. Neither pre-registration nor a Facebook account are required to view the Facebook Live broadcast, but viewers with an account will be able to ask questions for Duval-Carrié in the text chat.

Both museums encourage all visitors and staff who are not fully vaccinated, and those who feel more comfortable wearing a mask, to continue doing so in public areas at RAM and RAM's Wustum Museum of Fine Arts. Masks are
still required for some in-person art classes and workshops at Wustum.
