Gallery Conversation: Storytelling in Body and Being in African Art

Curator Costa Petridis and assistant director Loren Wright lead a focused tour of the *Body and Being in African Art* installation, sharing how they chose and arranged objects from the museum's permanent collection. The conversation centers on how African art represents the body—literally, through abstraction, or in objects meant to be worn or carried—and the storytelling decisions behind the installation. It takes place on Friday, November 13, from 2:00 to 3:00 PM in Gallery 227 on the second floor of the Michigan Avenue building. Free, no registration required.
