Join the O todayAbout Keith Duncan:
Keith Duncan was born in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana in 1967. He received a BFA from Louisiana State University and an MFA from Hunter College (CUNY) New York, NY. Duncan is recognized as a visual storyteller who draws inspiration from personal narrative, community engagement, news media, art history, Black culture and the tradition of New Orleans. In his latest body of work, Duncan celebrates the vibrant tradition of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) marching bands and band culture. The exhibition features large-scale fabric paintings of fifteen Southern HBCU bands, along with human-scale fabric paintings and smaller works on paper depicting each band’s drum major.
