Ellen Tiberino is an accomplished artist who comes from the famed Tiberino family of artists and advocates. Sometimes called "the West Philadelphia Wyeths," Ellen's mother, Ellen Powell Tiberino, was an artist who "infused works in the figurative tradition with an African American spirit," and her father, Joseph Tiberino, was a renowned artist. Together with her brothers Raphael and Gabriele, this prolific family carries on a grand tradition of boundary-pushing artistic exploration which foregrounds Black identity and experience. Join us to hear Ellen discuss her work and family's important legacy on our region.
The lecture will be followed by a light reception with the artist and examples of her mosaics in the galleries.
