ENGAGE WITH CREATIVITY

Through Saturday, July 11, 2020

"I Am My White Ancestors, Claiming the Legacy of Oppression," by Anne Mavor, ends its run in the Main Gallery soon. This thought-provoking exhibition calls our attention to systems of oppression that affect us all. By recognizing many forms of bias, bigotry and injustice passed down to us, we can learn ways to change. Thanks to the Gazette-Times for their June 11 feature from writer Nia Tariq.
