Off The Wall: Sessions One

Join special guests and the Rose curatorial team members for lively conversations about the art, concepts, and visual dialogues highlighted in the museum's upcoming exhibition, re: collections, Six Decades at the Rose Art Museum.

In this first session, Gannit Ankori (Henry and Lois Foster and Chief Curator), Elyan Hill (Guest Curator of African and African Diaspora Art), Caitlin Julia Rubin (Associate Curator and Director of Programs), and Chad Williams (Samuel J. and Augusta Spector Professor of History and African and African American Studies Chair, Department of African and African American Studies) will facilitate an open discussion on the following works from the Rose Art Museum's collection:

Renée Cox, Yo Mama, 1993
Danny Lyon, select photographs, 1962-1969
James (Ari) Montford, Black Indian in Space, selected works, 2015-2016
Betye Saar, Standing in the Shadow of Love, 2000
Andy Warhol, Birmingham Race Riot, 1964

re: collections aims to push back against Art History’s rehearsed narratives and traditional categorizations, exploring alternative ways of seeing and thinking about modern and contemporary art. We want you to be part of these conversations as we shake things up and experience art “off the wall” together. Please register to receive a link to this upcoming Zoom dialogue.

Caption services will be provided for this conversation. We are committed to making our virtual programs accessible to all; please email inquiries and requests to
