FAITH IN ARTS: A Conversation with Dr. Fahamu Pecou
Faith In Arts: A Conversation with Fahamu Pecou
Wednesday, July 24, 2024
Presented as part of Faith in Arts
These conversations and interviews with a diverse group of artists, curators, faith leaders, and scholars explore the role of arts in spiritual practice and religious life in the arts.
Fahamu Pecou is an interdisciplinary artist and scholar whose works combine observations on hip-hop, fine art, and popular culture to address concerns around contemporary representations of Black men. Through paintings, performance art, and academic work, Dr. Pecou confronts the performance of Black masculinity and Black identity, challenging and expanding the reading, performance, and expressions of Blackness.
Dr. Fahamu Pecou received his BFA at the Atlanta College of Art in 1997 and a Ph.D. from Emory University in 2018. Dr. Pecou exhibits his art worldwide in addition to lectures and speaking engagements at colleges and universities. In 2024, Dr. Pecou was recently named Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Letres (Knight in the Order of Arts and Letters) by the Republic of France.
As an educator, Dr. Pecou has developed (ad)Vantage Point, a narrative-based arts curriculum focused on Black male youth. Dr. Pecou is also the founding Director of the African Diaspora Art Museum of Atlanta (ADAMA).
Pecou’s work is featured in noted private and public national and international collections including; Smithsonian National Museum of African American Art and Culture, Societe Generale (Paris), Nasher Museum at Duke University, The High Museum of Art, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Seattle Art Museum, Paul R. Jones Collection, ROC Nation, Clark Atlanta University Art Collection and Museum of Contemporary Art Georgia.
Dr. Pecou was recently announced as one of the recipients of the 2022 Louis Comfort Tiffany Award. In 2020, Pecou was one of 6 artists selected for Emory University’s groundbreaking Arts & Social Justice Fellowship. Additionally, Pecou was the Georgia awardee for the 2020 South Arts Prize. In 2017 he was the subject of a retrospective exhibition “Miroirs de l’Homme” in Paris, France. A recipient of the 2016 Joan Mitchell Foundation “Painters and Sculptors” Award, his work also appears in several films and television shows including; HBO’s Between the World and Me, Blackish, and The Chi. Pecou’s work has also been featured on numerous publications including Atlanta Magazine, Hanif Abdurraqib’s poetry collection, A Fortune for Your Disaster and the award-winning collection of short stories by Rion Amilcar Scott, The World Doesn’t Require You.

    Im gonna ask a glass blower to melt me up a tiny playable bagpipe with playable reeds, bag and blowstem. With millifiori chunks and cabochons for furrels and encalmo sections and individually handmade beads to make the drones. I would want a shuttle pipe with 1 drone and 1 shuttle to change the pitch. It would take an entire room of people to collaborate. Artisans and people who know a thing or 2 and cats and dogs. Then Ill clean out my savings to pay the price of it less it be given to a museum. I got first dibs though because of bridghde's little square regulator thing that inspired the idea.

    I beg to differ about the quality of her work, and offer the version of Bullfight in the Denver Museum of Art. The breadth of her body of work may not qualify her for “greatness,” a notion much overvalued in my opinion. However, her best work is quite remarkable.
