Persisting Matters is a series of talks that places contemporary artists in conversation with scholars, curators, critics, and the public. The series is developed in the context of CIMA’s 2023-2024 exhibition Transatlantic Bridges: Corrado Cagli, 1938-1948, (October 12, 2023 — January 27, 2024) and is supported by a grant from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

Questions of gender, racism, political oppression and resilience through art and community practices were central to Cagli’s work in the years of his exile from Italy, due to the country’s racial laws. Persisting Matters engages contemporary artists whose practices explore these pressing subjects in their individual context and prism.

Tammie Rubin is a ceramic sculptor and installation artist whose practice considers the intrinsic power of objects and coded symbols as signifiers, wishful contraptions, and mythic relics. Her artwork weaves together familial, historical, and literary narratives of Black American citizenry, migration, autonomy, and faith.
