Sanctuary City: Artist Roundtable

Somerville Museum

Join us for an informal conversation with featured artists from the exhibition, Sanctuary City.

Join us for an informal conversation with featured artists from the Community Curator exhibition, <a href="https://www.somervillemuseum.org/sanctuary-city" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sanctuary City</a>. The event will be mediated by the curator, Julia Csekö and followed by a Q&A. The exhibition closes on Saturday, November 19 so this is your last chance to check it out! Sanctuary City showcases emerging and accomplished mid-career artists and a variety of media, from installations to award-winning comic books, the works on view address themes of immigration and community building. Experiences of trauma are commonplace in the lives of immigrants, but that does not invalidate or diminish the experiences and narratives of love, found family, resilience, resistance, and friendship. We dive into this conversation with heightened awareness, open ears, and hearts, taking in the ideas presented to us in hopes to learn, offering safe spaces, and creating more welcoming and safer environments for immigrant and refugee populations.You can learn more about the artists and exhibition here: <a href="https://www.somervillemuseum.org/sanctuary-city" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.somervillemuseum.org/sanctuary-city</a>You can learn more about Julia Csekö and her art practice here: <a href="https://www.juliacseko.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.juliacseko.com</a>ADMISSION: $10; active Museum members free (use code MEMBER); space is limited so we recommend purchasing tickets in advance.PARKING: The Somerville Museum has no dedicated parking spots.
