About this Event

Artists Aaron Hughes and Charlie Reynolds will lead a conversation and screen printing workshop in connection with American Sampler: Activating the Archive. This research-driven, immersive exhibition in UMMA’s Vertical Gallery is a collaboration with the Joseph A. Labadie Collection of anarchism, protest, and social movements housed in the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center.

The exhibition centers on 1950s–1970s movements for Black freedom, civil rights, and antiwar activism, clarifying the aspirations and effects as well as the violent opposition these movements encountered. American Sampler invites visitors to examine how legacies of grassroots organizing and protest in U.S. history shape the present.

Free and open to the public. Please register.
