Mark your calendars! VCU professor and filmmaker Shawn Utsey will join Abigail DeVille, whose exhibition "A Mourning" is currently on display, for a conversation about why Central State Hospital is important.

The film focuses on the Central State Hospital in Petersburg, Virginia, which was established in 1870 (often cited as 1869) to treat formerly enslaved people, making it a pivotal site for studying the history of psychiatry and racial inequality.

DeVille's exhibition, "A Mourning," explores the death of her great-grandfather, Luther Wilson, who died at Central State Hospital in 1938.

BLACK WORK: Absence/Absorption asks the question: what is black? Black is absorption, a gathering, all colors held at once, refusing to reflect. Black is the hug, the clasp, the cuddle with light itself. Black, in all its tonal ranges, moves across artists' canvases like music, like the shifting movements of a concerto.

The exhibition, curated by Dr. Kymberly S. Newberry, Visiting Assistant Professor of Art History.

The exhibition A Mourning reconstructs the death of DeVille’s great-grandfather, Luther Wilson, at Central State Hospital in Petersburg, VA, in 1938. Central State Hospital was founded in 1870 for the treatment of “colored persons of unsound mind” and operated at a former Confederate hospital at Howard’s Grove.
