Born and raised on her family’s 7-acre ranch in Auburn, African-American sculptor Marita Dingus has been exhibiting her artwork locally and internationally for over 30 years.  Working almost exclusively with found objects of every possible variety, Dingus’ work is a commentary on the slave trade, recycling, and the politics of poverty.  Her signature African-inflected figures of all sizes have become a familiar sight in the region, having been shown at galleries, museums, and in outdoor installations.  We’ll talk to her about her long career, how it’s been impacted by the current rise in interest in the work of BIPOC artists in general, and where she plans to go from here.
