SUMMARY:Charles Evans Scholars Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Echoes in Our Bones The Empowering Legacy of Black Women Artists in American Art and Culture \nCurated by Judith K. Brodsky and Rhinold L. Ponder				\n				\n									On View: Wednesday\, September 9 – Saturday\, October 3\, 2026Opening reception: wednesday\, September 9 from 5-7pm  panel discussion: re-visioning america: thursday\, September 17 from 5:30-6:30pm at princeton university art museum. learn more.  in conversation: “silks” by laura wheeler waring: thursday\, October 1 from 5:30-6:30pm in our taplin gallery. learn more.								\n				\n									ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:Echoes in Our Bones will explore how themes of identity\, history\, and cultural resilience have endured and transformed across generations. The exhibition examines how these artists have explored and expanded the ideals articulated in the Declaration of Independence\, “Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness”\, using art as a powerful vehicle for expression\, resistance\, care\, and community. Pairings of artists from past and present generations will include Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler\, Selma Burke and Alison Saar\, Mary Lovelace O’Neal and Julie Mehretu\, Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, Carrie Mae Weems and LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel\, Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker\, and Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith. Through these connections\, the exhibition will not only showcase individual artistic voices but also trace a lineage of creative expression that has contributed to shaping and defining American art. 								\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					 The Pairings: 				\n					\n				\n		\n				\n									Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler create large-scale works celebrating African American life through a combination of fabric and paint—a medium pioneered by Ringgold and Miriam Schapiro during the early years of the Feminist Art Movement in the 1970s. Bisa Butler: Courtesy of the Artist and Jeffrey Deitch\, New York and Los Angeles. 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker both explore the heritage of slavery through printmaking\, a medium traditionally associated with social justice and political commentary: 								\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel: Waring devoted much of her career to portraying the emerging African American middle class\, while Casteel depicts the everyday lives of a broad spectrum of African Americans\, confidently occupying a wide variety of roles in the 21st century. It is worth noting that this early painting\, created shortly after Waring graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and likely executed while she was still in Paris on the prestigious travel fellowship awarded by PAFA to an outstanding graduate\, depicts two white women. This suggests that Waring had not yet chosen to focus her artistic practice on Black subjects: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, artists from two different generations\, both use collage\, distortion\, and caricature to explore themes of social justice and the African American experience of injustice: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith both use discarded\, nontraditional materials to create works of art\, drawing an analogy to the experiences of people who are often overlooked or cast aside\, yet possess immense value: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Stop by to see the above pairings and more on view starting September 9. 								\n				\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					About the curators:				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n									Judith K.

SUMMARY:Gallery opening: Echoes in Our Bones: The Empowering Legacy of Black Women Artists in American Art and Culture
DESCRIPTION:Echoes in Our Bones The Empowering Legacy of Black Women Artists in American Art and Culture \nCurated by Judith K. Brodsky and Rhinold L. Ponder				\n				\n									On View: Wednesday\, September 9 – Saturday\, October 3\, 2026Opening reception: wednesday\, September 9 from 5-7pm  panel discussion: re-visioning america: thursday\, September 17 from 5:30-6:30pm at princeton university art museum. learn more.  in conversation: “silks” by laura wheeler waring: thursday\, October 1 from 5:30-6:30pm in our taplin gallery. learn more.								\n				\n									ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:Echoes in Our Bones will explore how themes of identity\, history\, and cultural resilience have endured and transformed across generations. The exhibition examines how these artists have explored and expanded the ideals articulated in the Declaration of Independence\, “Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness”\, using art as a powerful vehicle for expression\, resistance\, care\, and community. Pairings of artists from past and present generations will include Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler\, Selma Burke and Alison Saar\, Mary Lovelace O’Neal and Julie Mehretu\, Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, Carrie Mae Weems and LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel\, Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker\, and Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith. Through these connections\, the exhibition will not only showcase individual artistic voices but also trace a lineage of creative expression that has contributed to shaping and defining American art. 								\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					 The Pairings: 				\n					\n				\n		\n				\n									Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler create large-scale works celebrating African American life through a combination of fabric and paint—a medium pioneered by Ringgold and Miriam Schapiro during the early years of the Feminist Art Movement in the 1970s. Bisa Butler: Courtesy of the Artist and Jeffrey Deitch\, New York and Los Angeles. 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker both explore the heritage of slavery through printmaking\, a medium traditionally associated with social justice and political commentary: 								\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel: Waring devoted much of her career to portraying the emerging African American middle class\, while Casteel depicts the everyday lives of a broad spectrum of African Americans\, confidently occupying a wide variety of roles in the 21st century. It is worth noting that this early painting\, created shortly after Waring graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and likely executed while she was still in Paris on the prestigious travel fellowship awarded by PAFA to an outstanding graduate\, depicts two white women. This suggests that Waring had not yet chosen to focus her artistic practice on Black subjects: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, artists from two different generations\, both use collage\, distortion\, and caricature to explore themes of social justice and the African American experience of injustice: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith both use discarded\, nontraditional materials to create works of art\, drawing an analogy to the experiences of people who are often overlooked or cast aside\, yet possess immense value: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Stop by to see the above pairings and more on view starting September 9. 								\n				\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					About the curators:				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n									Judith K.

Pairings of artists from past and present generations will include Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler\, Selma Burke and Alison Saar\, Mary Lovelace O’Neal and Julie Mehretu\, Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, Carrie Mae Weems and LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel\, Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker\, and Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith. Through these connections\, the exhibition will not only showcase individual artistic voices but also trace a lineage of creative expression that has contributed to shaping and defining American art. 								\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					 The Pairings: 				\n					\n				\n		\n				\n									Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler create large-scale works celebrating African American life through a combination of fabric and paint—a medium pioneered by Ringgold and Miriam Schapiro during the early years of the Feminist Art Movement in the 1970s.

SUMMARY:Chimera Productions Presents JOB by Max Wolf Friedlich
DESCRIPTION:Echoes in Our Bones The Empowering Legacy of Black Women Artists in American Art and Culture \nCurated by Judith K. Brodsky and Rhinold L. Ponder				\n				\n									On View: Wednesday\, September 9 – Saturday\, October 3\, 2026Opening reception: wednesday\, September 9 from 5-7pm  panel discussion: re-visioning america: thursday\, September 17 from 5:30-6:30pm at princeton university art museum. learn more.  in conversation: “silks” by laura wheeler waring: thursday\, October 1 from 5:30-6:30pm in our taplin gallery. learn more.								\n				\n									ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:Echoes in Our Bones will explore how themes of identity\, history\, and cultural resilience have endured and transformed across generations. The exhibition examines how these artists have explored and expanded the ideals articulated in the Declaration of Independence\, “Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness”\, using art as a powerful vehicle for expression\, resistance\, care\, and community. Pairings of artists from past and present generations will include Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler\, Selma Burke and Alison Saar\, Mary Lovelace O’Neal and Julie Mehretu\, Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, Carrie Mae Weems and LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel\, Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker\, and Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith. Through these connections\, the exhibition will not only showcase individual artistic voices but also trace a lineage of creative expression that has contributed to shaping and defining American art. 								\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					 The Pairings: 				\n					\n				\n		\n				\n									Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler create large-scale works celebrating African American life through a combination of fabric and paint—a medium pioneered by Ringgold and Miriam Schapiro during the early years of the Feminist Art Movement in the 1970s.

DESCRIPTION:Echoes in Our Bones The Empowering Legacy of Black Women Artists in American Art and Culture \nCurated by Judith K. Brodsky and Rhinold L. Ponder				\n				\n									On View: Wednesday\, September 9 – Saturday\, October 3\, 2026Opening reception: wednesday\, September 9 from 5-7pm  panel discussion: re-visioning america: thursday\, September 17 from 5:30-6:30pm at princeton university art museum. learn more.  in conversation: “silks” by laura wheeler waring: thursday\, October 1 from 5:30-6:30pm in our taplin gallery. learn more.								\n				\n									ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:Echoes in Our Bones will explore how themes of identity\, history\, and cultural resilience have endured and transformed across generations. The exhibition examines how these artists have explored and expanded the ideals articulated in the Declaration of Independence\, “Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness”\, using art as a powerful vehicle for expression\, resistance\, care\, and community. Pairings of artists from past and present generations will include Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler\, Selma Burke and Alison Saar\, Mary Lovelace O’Neal and Julie Mehretu\, Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, Carrie Mae Weems and LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel\, Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker\, and Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith. Through these connections\, the exhibition will not only showcase individual artistic voices but also trace a lineage of creative expression that has contributed to shaping and defining American art. 								\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					 The Pairings: 				\n					\n				\n		\n				\n									Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler create large-scale works celebrating African American life through a combination of fabric and paint—a medium pioneered by Ringgold and Miriam Schapiro during the early years of the Feminist Art Movement in the 1970s. Bisa Butler: Courtesy of the Artist and Jeffrey Deitch\, New York and Los Angeles. 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker both explore the heritage of slavery through printmaking\, a medium traditionally associated with social justice and political commentary: 								\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel: Waring devoted much of her career to portraying the emerging African American middle class\, while Casteel depicts the everyday lives of a broad spectrum of African Americans\, confidently occupying a wide variety of roles in the 21st century. It is worth noting that this early painting\, created shortly after Waring graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and likely executed while she was still in Paris on the prestigious travel fellowship awarded by PAFA to an outstanding graduate\, depicts two white women. This suggests that Waring had not yet chosen to focus her artistic practice on Black subjects: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, artists from two different generations\, both use collage\, distortion\, and caricature to explore themes of social justice and the African American experience of injustice: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith both use discarded\, nontraditional materials to create works of art\, drawing an analogy to the experiences of people who are often overlooked or cast aside\, yet possess immense value: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Stop by to see the above pairings and more on view starting September 9. 								\n				\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					About the curators:				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n									Judith K.

SUMMARY:ART OF Pizza e Vino
DESCRIPTION:Echoes in Our Bones The Empowering Legacy of Black Women Artists in American Art and Culture \nCurated by Judith K. Brodsky and Rhinold L. Ponder				\n				\n									On View: Wednesday\, September 9 – Saturday\, October 3\, 2026Opening reception: wednesday\, September 9 from 5-7pm  panel discussion: re-visioning america: thursday\, September 17 from 5:30-6:30pm at princeton university art museum. learn more.  in conversation: “silks” by laura wheeler waring: thursday\, October 1 from 5:30-6:30pm in our taplin gallery. learn more.								\n				\n									ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:Echoes in Our Bones will explore how themes of identity\, history\, and cultural resilience have endured and transformed across generations. The exhibition examines how these artists have explored and expanded the ideals articulated in the Declaration of Independence\, “Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness”\, using art as a powerful vehicle for expression\, resistance\, care\, and community. Pairings of artists from past and present generations will include Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler\, Selma Burke and Alison Saar\, Mary Lovelace O’Neal and Julie Mehretu\, Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, Carrie Mae Weems and LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel\, Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker\, and Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith. Through these connections\, the exhibition will not only showcase individual artistic voices but also trace a lineage of creative expression that has contributed to shaping and defining American art. 								\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					 The Pairings: 				\n					\n				\n		\n				\n									Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler create large-scale works celebrating African American life through a combination of fabric and paint—a medium pioneered by Ringgold and Miriam Schapiro during the early years of the Feminist Art Movement in the 1970s. Bisa Butler: Courtesy of the Artist and Jeffrey Deitch\, New York and Los Angeles. 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker both explore the heritage of slavery through printmaking\, a medium traditionally associated with social justice and political commentary: 								\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel: Waring devoted much of her career to portraying the emerging African American middle class\, while Casteel depicts the everyday lives of a broad spectrum of African Americans\, confidently occupying a wide variety of roles in the 21st century. It is worth noting that this early painting\, created shortly after Waring graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and likely executed while she was still in Paris on the prestigious travel fellowship awarded by PAFA to an outstanding graduate\, depicts two white women. This suggests that Waring had not yet chosen to focus her artistic practice on Black subjects: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, artists from two different generations\, both use collage\, distortion\, and caricature to explore themes of social justice and the African American experience of injustice: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith both use discarded\, nontraditional materials to create works of art\, drawing an analogy to the experiences of people who are often overlooked or cast aside\, yet possess immense value: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Stop by to see the above pairings and more on view starting September 9. 								\n				\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					About the curators:				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n									Judith K.

DESCRIPTION:Echoes in Our Bones The Empowering Legacy of Black Women Artists in American Art and Culture \nCurated by Judith K. Brodsky and Rhinold L. Ponder				\n				\n									On View: Wednesday\, September 9 – Saturday\, October 3\, 2026Opening reception: wednesday\, September 9 from 5-7pm  panel discussion: re-visioning america: thursday\, September 17 from 5:30-6:30pm at princeton university art museum. learn more.  in conversation: “silks” by laura wheeler waring: thursday\, October 1 from 5:30-6:30pm in our taplin gallery. learn more.								\n				\n									ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:Echoes in Our Bones will explore how themes of identity\, history\, and cultural resilience have endured and transformed across generations. The exhibition examines how these artists have explored and expanded the ideals articulated in the Declaration of Independence\, “Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness”\, using art as a powerful vehicle for expression\, resistance\, care\, and community. Pairings of artists from past and present generations will include Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler\, Selma Burke and Alison Saar\, Mary Lovelace O’Neal and Julie Mehretu\, Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, Carrie Mae Weems and LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel\, Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker\, and Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith. Through these connections\, the exhibition will not only showcase individual artistic voices but also trace a lineage of creative expression that has contributed to shaping and defining American art. 								\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					 The Pairings: 				\n					\n				\n		\n				\n									Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler create large-scale works celebrating African American life through a combination of fabric and paint—a medium pioneered by Ringgold and Miriam Schapiro during the early years of the Feminist Art Movement in the 1970s. Bisa Butler: Courtesy of the Artist and Jeffrey Deitch\, New York and Los Angeles. 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker both explore the heritage of slavery through printmaking\, a medium traditionally associated with social justice and political commentary: 								\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel: Waring devoted much of her career to portraying the emerging African American middle class\, while Casteel depicts the everyday lives of a broad spectrum of African Americans\, confidently occupying a wide variety of roles in the 21st century. It is worth noting that this early painting\, created shortly after Waring graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and likely executed while she was still in Paris on the prestigious travel fellowship awarded by PAFA to an outstanding graduate\, depicts two white women. This suggests that Waring had not yet chosen to focus her artistic practice on Black subjects: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, artists from two different generations\, both use collage\, distortion\, and caricature to explore themes of social justice and the African American experience of injustice: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith both use discarded\, nontraditional materials to create works of art\, drawing an analogy to the experiences of people who are often overlooked or cast aside\, yet possess immense value: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Stop by to see the above pairings and more on view starting September 9. 								\n				\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					About the curators:				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n									Judith K.

SUMMARY:Café Improv
DESCRIPTION:Echoes in Our Bones The Empowering Legacy of Black Women Artists in American Art and Culture \nCurated by Judith K. Brodsky and Rhinold L. Ponder				\n				\n									On View: Wednesday\, September 9 – Saturday\, October 3\, 2026Opening reception: wednesday\, September 9 from 5-7pm  panel discussion: re-visioning america: thursday\, September 17 from 5:30-6:30pm at princeton university art museum. learn more.  in conversation: “silks” by laura wheeler waring: thursday\, October 1 from 5:30-6:30pm in our taplin gallery. learn more.								\n				\n									ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:Echoes in Our Bones will explore how themes of identity\, history\, and cultural resilience have endured and transformed across generations. The exhibition examines how these artists have explored and expanded the ideals articulated in the Declaration of Independence\, “Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness”\, using art as a powerful vehicle for expression\, resistance\, care\, and community. Pairings of artists from past and present generations will include Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler\, Selma Burke and Alison Saar\, Mary Lovelace O’Neal and Julie Mehretu\, Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, Carrie Mae Weems and LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel\, Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker\, and Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith. Through these connections\, the exhibition will not only showcase individual artistic voices but also trace a lineage of creative expression that has contributed to shaping and defining American art. 								\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					 The Pairings: 				\n					\n				\n		\n				\n									Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler create large-scale works celebrating African American life through a combination of fabric and paint—a medium pioneered by Ringgold and Miriam Schapiro during the early years of the Feminist Art Movement in the 1970s. Bisa Butler: Courtesy of the Artist and Jeffrey Deitch\, New York and Los Angeles. 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker both explore the heritage of slavery through printmaking\, a medium traditionally associated with social justice and political commentary: 								\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel: Waring devoted much of her career to portraying the emerging African American middle class\, while Casteel depicts the everyday lives of a broad spectrum of African Americans\, confidently occupying a wide variety of roles in the 21st century. It is worth noting that this early painting\, created shortly after Waring graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and likely executed while she was still in Paris on the prestigious travel fellowship awarded by PAFA to an outstanding graduate\, depicts two white women. This suggests that Waring had not yet chosen to focus her artistic practice on Black subjects: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, artists from two different generations\, both use collage\, distortion\, and caricature to explore themes of social justice and the African American experience of injustice: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith both use discarded\, nontraditional materials to create works of art\, drawing an analogy to the experiences of people who are often overlooked or cast aside\, yet possess immense value: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Stop by to see the above pairings and more on view starting September 9. 								\n				\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					About the curators:				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n									Judith K.
