Join us for an artist talk with Adebunmi Gbadebo to learn about her process and the inspiration behind her work. Using Nigerian and Cameroonian coil-building techniques, Gbadebo works with clay excavated from the former plantation where her ancestors were enslaved, creating works that are memorials and monuments to her ancestors and the lives that they lived. Visit the Museum beforehand to see the recent acquisition Ellis Sanders, by Gbadebo, on view for a limited time in the ​Boyd Gallery.

Join us as Beckwith Artist-in-Residence George Lopez performs a program of music at the 91���� Museum of Art. Two concerts will be performed on October 15 at 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM; the same program will be performed at each. Free tickets required via the accompanying links.

Surround yourself in visual and verbal imagery and join us for readings of classic and original poems prompted by the exhibition USA @ 250 and read by 91���� students. All are welcome. 

What can apartheid South Africa teach us about health and social justice? Ideas such as the social determinants of health, the effects of stress, teamwork in medicine, and community participation in care trip off our tongues today. But some of their important histories can be traced to an unlikely place: apartheid South Africa. This talk explores how the South African government established community-based medicine and clinics—and how, as apartheid deepened, those same clinics and their practitioners became sites of opposition, in South Africa and beyond.
