This virtual convening is organized by Christa Clarke, an independent curator and consultant, for the Neuberger Museum of Art as part of the Museum’s 50th anniversary celebration.

Generous financial support for this event is provided by the Mellon Foundation and Dr. Susan R. Harris in honor of her late husband, Thomas Molnar, a collector of African art and a long-time docent at the Neuberger Museum of Art.
