Event Description

The NAACP’s 1935 exhibition, “An Art Commentary on Lynching,” and its use in anti-lynching activism represents a critical but often overlooked moment in American art history. Join us for a conversation about this historical exhibition, the intersection of art and activism, and connections to A Site of Struggle and our community today.

Lecture by art historian, visual artist and curator Margaret Vendryes, followed by a discussion with Rev. Dr. Michael Nabors, senior pastor at Second Baptist Church, faculty member at Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary, and president of the Evanston-North Shore Branch of the NAACP. Conversation moderated by Janet Dees, Steven and Lisa Munster Tananbaum Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art and curator of A Site of Struggle.
