Featuring a wide spectrum of artworks—including painting, sculpture, installation, textile, beadwork, and ceramics from the past eight decades—the exhibition emphasizes dialogues between artists who circumvent and break through conventions in art-making, embracing craft techniques, new technologies, conceptual inquiries, inventive methods, and uncommon materials. Artists in the exhibition include Andrea Bowers, Suzanne Jackson, Julie Mehretu, Howardina Pindell, Joan Mitchell, Lorna Simpson, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Sarah Sze, Kay WalkingStick, and Mary Weatherford, among many others.

Black Power Blueprint - Bringing Power Back to the North Side!

Professors John Inazu (Washington University School of Law) and Chad Flanders (Saint Louis University School of Law) will engage in a lively, respectful public dialogue on the strengths and weaknesses of a Christian worldview. Longtime friends with different perspectives, they will take up perennial questions at the heart of human existence: Is religious belief an essential part of the good life, or can it be dispensed with entirely? Does faith enrich our moral and civic lives, or does it risk distorting political judgment in a pluralistic society? What, if anything, is lost when belief disappears, and what might be gained in its absence? Rather than trading soundbites or scoring points, the conversation hopes to model rigorous intellectual engagement and curiosity about the other’s deepest commitments. The evening will include moderated discussion and audience Q&A.

This event is sponsored by the Frick Initiative and the Weidenbaum Center on the Economy, Government, and Public Policy.
