Inspired by the palette and patterning found in John Dunkley’s landscape paintings on view in John Dunkley: Neither Day nor Night, teaching artist Joiri Minaya will lead a block printing on textile workshop and discuss the history of the pattern design process and intersections with her own art and practice.

In response to exhibition artist Paa Joe’s slave castles, large-scale wooden sculptures of the forts located along Ghana’s Gold Coast that were used in the transatlantic slave trade, this panel discussion will bring scholars together to engage in a conversation about memorializing sites of trauma and legacies of slavery.
