Antwoine Washington will discuss his artistic journey as a painter, entrepreneur and founder of the Museum of Creative Human Art (MOCHA) at 4:15pm Monday, October 27 in CIA's Peter B. Lewis Theater. Washington was born in Pontiac, Michigan. He received his bachelor's degree in Studio Art from Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. “My work is inspired by the Black experience in America. Through drawing and painting I am focused on creating realistic storytelling portraits, while creating bold colorful work showcasing the emotion of what black Americans go through on a day to day basis. The past often seems to remind us of how far we have come as a society, due to our nation’s original sin concerning racial inequalities.”
