Join Kelvin Smith Library for a talk and art exhibit exploring the importance of representation and recognizing ourselves in art and literature. Speakers will explore the topic through three different lenses:
- Cara Byrne, full-time lecturer in the Department of English, will discuss representation in books for young readers.
- Artist and cultural strategist Amanda D. King (LAW ‘17) will focus on the power of images and representational justice.
- Finally, Lisa Kollins will explain how her work at CWRU guided the founding of The Superhero Project and the positive impacts of using art and storytelling to empower youth marginalized by disability and illness.
Learn more about the interconnected aspects of their work and research in this conversation.
The Superhero Project’s touring exhibit “Look at Me!” features a new pantheon of superheroes created by youth and designed by artists, and will be on view in the KSL Art Gallery.
will be held on Oct. 10, from 1:15 to 2:30 p.m. in Kelvin Smith Library. Light refreshments will be served.
