Students in my fall 2021 course on Public Art and Power are partnering with the Garfield Park Arts Center to develop an exhibit that’s part of this year’s Spirit & Place Festival. We’re inviting audiences to reflect on the park’s history as former site of a Confederate monument and collectively envision a future for public art in the park.
In conjunction with the virtual exhibit at Herron, I’m participating in two public programs:
Creativity vs. COVID: Artistic Activism for Global Health Equity April 26, 2021 Join members of the Free the Vaccine for COVID-19 collective for a panel discussion about their innovative advocacy to make COVID-19 tests, treatments, and vaccines available and affordable globally.
Artistic Activism Workshop April 27, 2021 Led by Free the Vaccine for COVID-19 members Joseph Amodei and Laura Holzman, this workshop will introduce the collective’s methods and offer concrete techniques to help you expand your creative toolkit and strengthen your advocacy skills.
I’m participating in a panel discussion hosted by the Intermedia Graduate Programs at the University of Maine in conjunction with Creativity vs. COVID: Ending the Pandemic for Good.
College Art Association Annual Conference February 15, 2020
As part of a session on teaching across museum and classroom contexts, I’m giving a talk entitled, “Building Research Skills Through the Study and Critique of Museum Architectural History.” It spotlights Museums, Architecture, and the Politics of Space, a course I developed for art history undergraduate students and museum studies MA students.
