‘She is a friend of my mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order.’

The culminating Volume for Toni Morrison sees a screening of the 2019 documentary Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am.

The Pieces I Am provides an intimate look at Morrison’s life through interviews with Morrison’s colleagues and friends, among them Oprah Winfrey, Sonia Sanchez and Farah Jasmine Griffin, and interweaves artworks by significant African American visual artists including Mickalene Thomas, who created the collage that opens the film, Faith Ringgold, Elizabeth Catlett, Kerry James Marshall and Romare Bearden.

Please note, although there was originally a Q&A, unfortunately this will no longer take place due to coronavirus-related international travel restrictions.
