Artist Talk with Masud Olufani & Stephen Satterfield
Sat Jan 25, 2025 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Atlanta Contemporary, 30318
Description
On Saturday, January 25, at 4 pm, join Masud Olufani for a conversation with Stephen Satterfield, creator of the Netflix series High on the Hog, as they discuss some of the narrative elements of food culture as depicted in Olufani’s current exhibition, A Sorcery of Sustenance. This conversation will be moderated by Floyd Hall, Atlanta Contemporary Executive Director.
A Sorcery of Sustenance is a collection of recently completed sculptures that trace the cultural retentions of the African Diaspora through food. Inspired in part by the popular Netflix series High on the Hog, this diverse gathering of mixed media works examines food production within the Black community as an alchemy that satiates the body as well as the spirit. In this context, nourishment or sustenance, has a double meaning that refers both to the corporeal and the incorporeal–to this world and to “other” worlds.
Stephen Satterfield is an award-winning food writer, sommelier, producer, and media entrepreneur. He is the founder of Whetstone Media and the host of the Netflix docu-series High on the Hog: How African American Cuisine Transformed America.
