MLK Legacy Celebration: Critical Hope in Context of Crisis
2022-02-03 17:00 | Online
Keynote by Dr. Jamila Lyiscott
Aspiring way-maker, community-engaged scholar, and author of Black Appetite. White Food: Issues of Race, Voice, and Justice Within and Beyond the Classroom.
The 2020 coronavirus pandemic has changed our systems of education forever. Teacher shortages and attacks on teaching accurate historical and contemporary realities of race continue to compound the ways that schooling has long been a site of crisis for Black and Brown youth. But what if the crisis is a catalyst? One that compels us to come to terms with a broken education system that must be transformed in ways that are aligned with equity and justice for all.
In this talk, Dr. J will share her Fugitive Action Framework as a lens for moving beyond “mythical hope”–empty promises of true change–and developing critical, tangible hope to support the building of essential new futures.
Virtual event via Zoom, registration required.

As we have all been required to spend concentrated time in our homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, domestic spaces have developed new contexts and significance. Through humor, tragedy, the magical and the mundane, the artists in Domestic State explore the meaning and narrative of domestic spaces and objects. Han Seok You photographs himself in the US and Korea, in an effort to define what “home” means. Manal Abu Shaheen’s series Julian follows the experiences of her brother, a Lebanese-American single father, raising his family on a Pennsylvania farm. Elizabeth Duffy’s installations and objects allude to the apparent comforts of home while revealing its contradictions. Shabnam Janessari’s saturated paintings depict spaces that empower the complex realities of Iranian female identity. In addition to work by contemporary artists, pieces from Wheaton’s Permanent Collection offer a contrast between past and present.

Featured artists include: Manal Abu Shaheen, Maria G. Baker, Elizabeth Duffy, Shabnam Janessari, Andrew Raftery, and Han Seok You.
