Art Speaks: Reparations Reframed

What can art teach us about justice? Join us for an evening with collaborators from the Justice League of Greater Lansing Michigan as they discuss their contributions to the exhibition Farmland. The Justice League of Greater Lansing Michigan aims to address the impact of slavery, fostering relationships and reparations to boost wealth equity for African Americans in Lansing. Want to see Farmland in person? Arrive early—galleries will close when the event begins. Registration for this free event is encouraged.
