Looking at art in Harnett Museum (UR) paired with African Diaspora or African |America Tradition (FREE)

About this event

UR Harnett Museum of Art Inspired by the tradition of a pre-meal apéritif , these programs offer a chance to cleanse the mental palate and recalibrate how we look at art. Newberry, Visiting Assistant Professor of Art History, pairs an artwork at the Harnett Museum with a contemporary artwork from the African Diaspora or African American tradition. Each pairing functions as a prompt, inviting visitors to look again—not just at the objects themselves, but at the new ideas and connections that emerge when works are placed in dialogue. How do these artworks challenge, intersect, and resonate with one another? Come ready to think boldly, look closely, and savor the complexity of art in dialogue.

Co-sponsored by the Office of the Dean, School of Arts & Sciences.

Free and open to everyone.
