Step into the world of self-portraiture, time travel, and memory with featured artist Anwar Floyd-Pruitt in person in the Arc Theater at Saint Kate—The Arts Hotel.

Floyd-Pruitt will speak about his exhibition Retina Records: Self Portraits of a Time Traveler, currently on view in MOWA | DTN.

Retina Records finds Anwar Floyd-Pruitt inventing a new visual language capable of evoking the experience of time travel. Densely layered spray-painted works yield a kaleidoscopic installation that is equally inspired by the aesthetic sensibilities of the 1990s as well as by an imagined Afro-futurist tomorrow. Floyd-Pruitt’s abstract faces unite features culled from family photos and launch viewers into a vibrant psychologically and visually intriguing space.

Don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to get to know the artist and his work! Guests may preview the artwork on the free Saint Kate Art Tour app prior to the event.

We will serve a specialty complimentary cocktail during the event, and guests are encouraged to grab a drink from The Bar thereafter.

Advanced registration is required due to limited capacity. Guests will be seated in the Arc Theater according to their group size. Click HERE to register or learn more about this event.
