Description
The workshop, led by co-curators of the Newberry’s Seeing Race before Race exhibition, explores how scholars can use the medieval and early modern past to help diverse audiences grapple with contemporary challenges. Through discussions, hands-on work with Newberry collection items, and exercises in the galleries, participants will consider how to effectively use material objects (books, documents, maps, visual art, etc.) to create moments of curiosity and instruction for uninitiated viewers through public programs and exhibition spaces.
