Upcoming events.
Exhibition: Spiritual Crossing: Reach & Embrace
Spiritual Crossing: Reach & Embrace is co-curated by Nile “Tha Riva” Overton and Morgan T. Lloyd.
Spiritual Crossing Reach & Embrace is a year-long project debuting twenty-three works- mixed media canvas paintings, works on paper, and installation- all created by Lucy H. West. The collection is inspired by revelations discovered through West’s mindfulness practices over the last nine years post moving to the United States from Japan.
Chronicling Resistance: Scholarship By and For the People: Scholar-Activists in Conversation
“How might the information held within archives support community activists and their work?” This is one of the key questions behind Chronicling Resistance: The Exhibition. To try to answer that question, the project Chronicling Resistance invited a cohort of activists, cultural organizers, and artists to explore institutional and community archives and to unearth and interpret stories of resistance from their voices and perspectives. “Scholarship By and for the People,” honors that question with a free-flowing conversation between a senior and junior scholar-activist whose academic works are inspired by, delivered to, and embraced by the communities that nurture them.”
