πŸ“š DSA Book Club Launch
Featuring Cult of Progress by David Olusoga
The Dayton Society of Artists is excited to launch a new Book Club series designed to bring artists, historians, and community members together for thoughtful conversation and shared learning.
Our first selection is Cult of Progress by David Olusoga, an insightful and compelling exploration of how ideas of β€œprogress” have shaped history, culture, power, and identity. Through vivid storytelling and deep historical research, Olusoga examines the narratives that have defined modern society and challenges readers to reconsider whose voices are centered β€” and whose are overlooked β€” in the story of advancement.
πŸ—“ Thursday, March 26
⏰ 6:00–8:00 PM
πŸ“ Dayton Society of Artists
This discussion will be led by Kathleen Caffrey, Dayton Society of Artists Board Member and Historian. With her deep knowledge of regional history and commitment to preserving artistic and cultural legacies, Kathleen will guide participants through a meaningful and engaging conversation connecting the themes of the book to art, community, and our shared histories.
No need to read the book in advance β€” all are welcome. Whether you have read the text or simply want to join an engaging conversation, the discussion will be insightful, open, and accessible to everyone.
Whether you are an artist, a history enthusiast, or simply enjoy thoughtful dialogue, we invite you to join us for this enriching new DSA program.
Free and open to the public.
