This small exhibition is embedded in the Museum’s installation of 20th- and 21st-century art and features Ghani’s video work alongside two photographs by the artist. Using performance to illuminate and personify issues around place and culture, Ghani traces millennia of geological and social changes in Norway, including those wrought by the discovery and extraction of oil.
Seventeenth-century Dutch and Flemish painters invested great care in the technical concerns of luminosity, clarity, reflection, and shadow, producing paintings where light and its diverse forms take center stage. The Mount Holyoke College Art Museum holds a rich group of works that demonstrate these interests and the astonishing range of lighting effects that these painters achieved.
Leading up to fall 2026, the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum’s 150th anniversary, Museum staff will be working with the campus and community to imagine new methods of display. This full-scale rethink aims to broaden and deepen the stories we are able to share, raise the voices of marginalized communities, and unseat traditional Eurocentric and colonialist perspectives that have dominated museum practices for centuries.
