Registration is required.
Join Sylvia Jones, a writer and prison abolitionist, and Jo Briggs, Jennie Walters Delano Curator of 18th- and 19th-Century Art, to explore invisibility and concealment in the lives of artists. Follow Jones and Briggs through the galleries as they discuss the hidden labor of workers in the production of ceramics and the societal constraints on 19th-century artists.
Queering the Collection is an in-gallery program series that invites artists and scholars to participate in conversations that connect queer-identifying perspectives with artistic and art-historical knowledge about works in our collection. Speakers will discuss works of art in our galleries, followed by a Q&A session with the audience.
