Abolitionist Practices: Then + Now

Wednesday, October 23 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Free

Tufts University Art Galleries presents the program “Abolitionist Practices: Then + Now,” a panel discussion in conjunction with the current TUAG exhibition, “Tomashi Jackson: Across the Universe.” Panelists will be Nia Evans, executive director of the Boston Ujima Project; Cierra Michele Peters, director of communications, culture and enfranchisement at the Boston Ujima Project; Dayna Cunningham, dean of the Tisch College of Civic Life at Tufts; and the artist, Tomashi Jackson. Just as Jackson’s work reckons with the overlooked portions of American history and the long shadow of slavery, so too do these area partners contend with abolitionist thought to correct the ongoing impact of slavery in contemporary society. They will explore the histories and legacies of abolitionist practices today. Register through the event web page.
