News from other sources...Collection News | Art + Social Justice Week October 23–30
Our week-long dialogue on social justice opened on October 23 with a screen printing workshop outside the museum. Events continue through Friday with lectures and tours, as well as special events that include a panel discussion directed by live interactive polling, and the first ever takeover of the @SheldonMuseum Instagram account by visual artist and social activist Hank Willis Thomas. Thomas will present "After Identity, What?" at 6 p.m. on Friday. He will discuss his ongoing, socially-engaged artistic practice, which provokes viewers by subverting misconceptions and singular views of individuals and histories. Admission is free; doors open to the public at 5:30 p.m. The lecture will be simulcast at ianrmedia.unl.edu/live-2 Upcoming Events at Sheldon Tuesday 10/27 5:30 PM “Social Justice and the Law” University of Nebraska College of Law professors will lead fast-paced conversations that engage audience members in live interactive polling.
