Entangled Intimacies: Tradition, Motion, and Memory (September 11, 2024 - December 13, 2024)

Inspired by the introductory course of the revised Africana and Latin American Studies curriculum (ALST 199), this exhibition highlights connections among coastal communities of the Atlantic and Pacific. Works from the Caribbean, West Africa, Latin America, and the Pacific Islands feature shared themes of trans-oceanic communication, diasporas, transnationalism, colonialism, and resistance. This exhibition aims to provide space for multiple perspectives through public label submissions (ask a staff member!). Keep coming back, as new labels will be added throughout the semester.

Our opening event, organized together with the African Students’ Union, Black Student Union, Caribbean Students Association, and Latin American Student Organization will be a celebratory “block party.” Bring your appetite and your dancing shoes! Food by Manna BiScUs, and music by dj baldiyeraldi '25.

This exhibition is curated by Summer Frazier and Rebecca Mendelsohn.
