Thank You Books is thrilled to partner with the Birmingham Museum of Art for a conversation between two Birmingham icons, Imani Perry and André Holland. Perry, a National Book Award-winning author, and Holland, an acclaimed actor most recently starring in Exhibiting Forgiveness directed by Titus Kaphar, will discuss Perry's newest work, Black in Blues: How a Color Tells the Story of My People. The book explores the ways in which the color blue is intertwined with Blackness, dating back to the 16th century and extending to its many embodiments within contemporary culture, and draws deeply from Perry's own life. A selection of Perry's books will be for sale, and a signing will follow the discussion. Guests are invited to visit the museum's special exhibition, Determined to Be: The Sculpture of John Rhoden, before or after the event. Born and raised in Birmingham, John Rhoden (1916–2001) was an accomplished twentieth-century African American sculptor. This exhibition presents the first comprehensive retrospective of his artwork, and a catalogue will also be for sale. Tickets for this not-to-be missed event include the price of one copy of BLACK IN BLUES, plus processing fees. Also note that the event will be held in the Steiner Auditorium of the Birmingham Museum of Art: 2000 Reverend Abraham Woods Jr Boulevard, Birmingham, AL 35203. Imani Perry is the National Book Award-winning author of South to America, as well as eight other books of nonfiction. She is the Henry A. Morss Jr. and Elisabeth W. Morss Professor of Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality and of African and African American Studies at Harvard University, and is a 2023 MacArthur Fellow. Perry lives between Philadelphia and Cambridge with her two sons. Born in Bessemer, Alabama, André Holland is widely known for his 2016 performance as Kevin in the Academy Award-winning film Moonlight. He received his MFA from New York University and has acted in film, television, and theatre productions, including August Wilson's play Jitney on Broadway in 2017. Most recently, Holland starred in Exhibiting Forgiveness directed by Titus Kaphar. He is the founder of The Holland Project, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving and protecting The Lincoln Theater and other historic Bessmer buildings in danger of neglect or demolition.
