Join us this Wednesday for our final lecture in our series with University at Buffalo. Dr. Sharon Amos will present on The Centenarians! The project Centenari...ans: We have a Story to Tell began with the video interviews of ten African American women and it culminated in 2015 with several events. Dr. Amos serves as narrator and co-presenter with the late Fern E. Beavers. The Links of Erie County, NY and a grant from AAUW provided support for the project. Time: Apr 7, 2021 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) Zoom Link: https://buffalo.zoom.us/j/96398103177

Enjoy a self-guided virtual tour of the exhibition Making Strange. Weaving constructed and anecdotal narratives, Making Strange explores the distortion of objec...ts, places, and bodies. Through their respective artistic practices, Tara Najd Ahmadi, Alice Alexandrescu, Cecily Culver, Jason Livingston, SV Randall, Masha Sha, Abiose Spriggs, Margaret Schrecongost, Annette Daniels Taylor, and Frederick Wright Jones make artwork responsive to the mercurial power deforming the present. The artists reimagine the conventional, and call viewers to question how opportunities for contemplation can emerge from such distortions. View in full screen for the best experience!
