How the Word is Passed
@ Block Museum of Art, Northwestern University
40 Arts Circle Dr, Evanston, IL 60208
Opening Saturday, October 8th, at 11AM
Join Block Museum curator Janet Dees for a gallery talk closely considering two works from the Block’s collection that explore the legacy of slavery: Jacob Lawrence’s print The March, from the series The Life of Toussaint L’Ouverture (1995) and Omar Victor Diop’s photograph Ayuba Suleiman Diallo, from the series Project Diaspora (2014).
Dees is the Steven and Lisa Munster Tananbaum Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at The Block Museum of Art, and curator of Winter–Spring 2022 Block exhibition A Site of Struggle: American Art against Anti-Black Violence.
This gallery talk will be followed by a performance from artists Mendi + Keith Obadike at the neighboring Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts. Guests are welcome to join us for one or both programs; registration required.
