Rendering Visible: A Talk by Dana Landress
About this Event
Join Dana Landress, Assistant Professor of Medical History and Bioethics, for a talk that delves deeper into the art on view in Pressing Issues: Printmaking as Social Justice in 1930s United States. As a scholar focused on the histories of structural racism, economic inequality, and labor history, Landress will invite attendees to make connections between the themes in the exhibition and our current moment.
