SUMMARY:Radical Healing and Decoloniality: Museums in Transition
DESCRIPTION:This talk by Amanda Maples\, Curator of African Art at the NC Museum of Art\, is part of UNC Chapel Hill’s African Studies Center’s Decolonizing African Studies Series.  \nWith the advent of global protests urgently calling for social justice and the end of systemic racism\, museums have been called upon to reflect on their own institutional histories and grapple with the role they have played in perpetuating stereotypes and inequities—both in gallery and collections representation\, and within their administration. A critical aspect of this relatively recent pursuit to decolonize includes facing the violence at play in colonial and imperial histories\, and making efforts towards reparations more broadly. Such momentum has catapulted museums into a period of transition and their responsibilities are fundamentally changing towards creating space for radical healing. \nRegister here for this free virtual talk! \nOrganized by the African Studies Center\, College of Arts and Sciences\, UNC-Chapel Hill.

SUMMARY:Virtual Artist Conversation: Ghost of a Dream
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a virtual artist conversation between Ghost of a Dream\, the artistic collaboration of Lauren Was and Adam Eckstrom\, and the Ackland’s assistant curator for the collection Lauren Turner. Ghost of a Dream will discuss their commissioned installation for the Ackland\, Aligned by the Sun (through the revolution)\, as well as their larger body of work. \nThis program is presented in connection with UNC’s Arts Everywhere Day and its 2022 theme “Grounded Growth\,” which examines the role of art — especially the ways in which it was able to uplift and connect — during COVID. \nRegister for a free ticket for this Zoom webinar below. If you encounter registration issues\, please contact email us at acklandRSVP@unc.edu. \n— \nAbout Aligned by the Sun (through the revolution) \nAligned by the Sun (through the revolution) is a seven-channel video installation created specifically for the Ackland Art Museum that uses the formal positioning of the horizon line to connect each video of the sun. By overlaying images of a setting sun that align vastly different and often non-neighboring locations\, Ghost of a Dream’s Aligned by the Sun (through the revolution) offers entry points to important conversations around equality\, location\, migration\, and the environment. On view through July 3\, 2022.
