Event details

Join Carolyn M. Laferrière, the Museum’s associate curator of ancient Mediterranean art; Nathan Arrington, professor of art and archaeology and chair of Princeton’s Department of Art and Archaeology, chair of the Index of Medieval Art, and interim director of the P. Y. and Kinmay W. Tang Center for East Asian Art and Anna Arabindan-Kesson, associate professor of art and archaeology and African American studies at Princeton, for a conversation about the exhibition Roberto Lugo / Orange and Black. Panelists will discuss the works on view from their distinct scholarly perspectives, underscoring how Lugo’s work can be not only positioned within the history of ceramic making but also framed in discussions of how the medium of ceramics has been used for facilitating storytelling, establishing social and political relationships, and commenting on humankind’s everyday lived experiences.

LATE THURSDAYS! This event is part of the Museum’s Late Thursdays programming, made possible in part by Heather and Paul G. Haaga Jr., Class of 1970.
