Faculty + Student Workshop: On Place

Faculty + Student Workshop: On Place

Grab some coffee and cake and join the discussion as we hear from faculty in the Department of Art, Art History, and Design with our series of Faculty and Student Workshops. Each workshop features a different theme, inviting the audience to peek behind the scenes of the research practice of our faculty. The third slice, titled On Place, will introduce artists, designers, and scholars whose research addresses the diverse ways we make communities.

In this workshop we will hear from Qais Assali Artist-in-Residence: Critical Race Studies, Laura Cloud, Associate Professor of Studio Art, Jon Frey Associate Professor of Art History and Visual Culture, and  Therèsa Winge, Associate Professor of Apparel & Textile Design.
