In Dialogue: Smithsonian Objects and Social Justice
Heighten your civic awareness through conversations about art, history and material culture. Each month, educators from the National Portrait Gallery will partner with colleagues from across the Smithsonian to discuss how historical objects from their respective collections speak to today’s social justice issues. How does multiraciality complicate what we understand about representation and race? Together with co-hosts from the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, the National Portrait Gallery will explore this key question in relationship to a drawing of artist and designer Isamu Noguchi from c. 1929 and a movie poster of actor and dancer Nancy Kwan from c. 1960. Hosted by the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery and the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center.
