In celebration of Black History Month, the Romare Bearden Foundation presents Building the Block, a virtual conversation with artist and cultural activist Ademola Olugebefola. Grounded in community-based practice, cultural memory, and social engagement, Olugebefola reflects on his artistic journey and the ways Romare Bearden’s legacy—particularly his commitment to Black life, political consciousness, and collective storytelling—has shaped his work, including his engagement with public art and Harlem’s built environment. Through images, personal narrative, and dialogue, this program underscores the enduring role of artists as culture bearers and change agents, connecting Bearden’s vision to ongoing movements for creative and social justice.
