&nbsp;Join us for a screening of a short documentary exploring the Bannister Community Art Project and the life and legacy of 19th-century Providence artist Edward Mitchell Bannister, one of America's most celebrated Black painters.&nbsp; Following the film, a lively panel discussion and audience conversation will explore Bannister's artistic achievements, his enduring influence on Rhode Island's cultural history, and the important role his wife, Christiana Carteaux Bannister, played during her lifetime as an educator, entrepreneur, and respected member of Providence's Black community.
Sponsored by Annie Castlenovo McMullen in memory of her mother, Providence Art Club artist, Mary Castlenovo.&nbsp; 

Moderator Wayne Franklin Committee Member, Bannister Community Art Project and Member of the Board, Providence Art Club
Panelists Theresa Guzmán Stokes Executive Director of the Rhode Island Black Heritage Society
Writer, historian, U.S. Navy veteran, and cultural preservation leader, Theresa Guzmán Stokes work centers on African Heritage, Latin American, and diasporic histories. She is president and founder of 1696 Heritage Group, founder of Historical Writers of America, and she leads statewide efforts to preserve and elevate African and Indigenous histories through her role at the Rhode Island Black Heritage Society.
Ulli Ryder CEO The Ryder | Talbutt Group Scholar-in-Residence, Office of the Chaplains and Religious Life, Brown University
Ulli Ryder's most recent project is the restoration of Edward Mitchell Bannister's historic gravestone in Providence's North Burial Ground. The original monument, erected in his honor by his artist colleagues, had been vandalized. It was a large stone with bronze medallions. Mahler Ryder, Ulli's father, artist and RISD professor, organized their recreation in 1976 as part of the nation's Bicentennial and in honor of the often-overlooked contributions of Black American artists. Ironically, the gravestone was again discovered stolen a few years ago and in memory of her father, Ulli Ryder has taken up his mission in this 250th celebration of our nation's founding.
