Curator Conversations

MALICK SIDIBÉ (Malian, 1935-2016) | Untitled, 1974

Throughout the year during free, public presentations, Norton curators provide insight and context to exhibitions they have organized and art and artists they have studied and admire. 


Curator Conversation / Africa and Its Diaspora: Photographs from the Norton's Collection

Friday, October 15 / 6PM-7PM

Tiera Ndlovu, curator of Origin Stories: Photography of Africa and Its Diaspora, will discuss how the legacy of colonialism across the African continent informs the work of various contemporary photographers, such as Yinka Shonibare CBE, Malick Sidibé, and Carrie Mae Weems. This Curator’s Conversation will offer insight on selections currently on view in the exhibition while highlighting the diverse stories that the Museum can share through its holdings of contemporary photography. 

Support for Curator Conversations was provided by the Gayle and Paul Gross Education Endowment Fund.
