Across his training in architecture, interest in ecology and multimedia art practice, artist and academic Curry J. Hackett connects his work to Black relationships with plants, ecologies and landscapes, influenced by his upbringing in rural Virginia.
Curry continued this exploration during his residency at Ace Hotel Brooklyn, which culminated in the exhibition «It Can Happen…Still Time to Try,» a collaboration with J.t. Roane and Jona Alexander.
