Inaugural Patricia and Edward Falkenberg Lecture
Please join us for an historic event featuring the artist El Anatsui in dialogue with his former colleague and fellow artist Obiora Udechukwu, Dana Professor of Art and Art History, St. Lawrence University. The conversation will be moderated by exhibition co-curator and Five College Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in African Art and Architecture, Amanda Gilvin.

This exhibition was made possible by the Susan B. Weatherbie Exhibition Fund. Associated programs are supported by the Patricia and Edward Falkenberg Lecture Fund and the Natalie Hofheimer Program Fund.
