with Dr. Crystal J. Lucky
Discover how daily spiritual practice, improvisation, and Black Church culture shaped the art of Moe Brooker. Join Dr. Crystal J. Lucky for an exploration of the artist’s vibrant visual language, considering how his everyday reverence for God found expression through paint. Drawing connections among Black Gospel music, Brooker’s Philadelphia roots, and his artistic influences, Lucky will illuminate the relationship between faith and creative experimentation in his work. Dr. Crystal J. Lucky is Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and Professor of English at Villanova University. Her teaching focuses on African American literature, including the Harlem Renaissance and the works of Toni Morrison and August Wilson.
