Artist Salon: Meet Tyrone and Hafizah Geter

In this unique Artist Salon, artist Tyrone Geter is joined by his daughter, poet Hafizah Geter, to explore visual art and the written word. Tyrone, whose work comprises the current exhibition Enduring Spirit: The Art of Tyrone Geter, is influenced by his mother and his experiences living in the early 20th century amid racial discrimination, poverty, and illiteracy. Hafizah was born in Zaria, Nigeria. She earned her B.A. in English and economics from Clemson University and her M.F.A. in poetry from Columbia College Chicago. She was recently published in The New Yorker.
