“New Constructions: A Symposium in Honor of Mavis Pusey” is a two-day convening celebrating the artistic legacy of Mavis Pusey, scheduled October2–3, 2025. Its objective is to lay the foundation for a deeper understanding and future scholarship of Pusey’s practice; co-organized with partners at the Studio Museum and Getty Research Institute, and hosted at the ICA University of Pennsylvania. Public day sessions will highlight Pusey’s work within modern Jamaican art, Caribbean Modernism, and Black abstraction, while a closed-door day will address research methodologies, conservation, and challenges of working with posthumous artists’ legacies. A comprehensive digital and physical publication, including transcripts, essays, and visual documentation, will be freely available through ICA’s website and bookstore.
