Join Erica P. Jones, senior curator of African arts and manager of curatorial affairs at the Fowler Museum, and Carlee S. Forbes, associate curator of African and Oceanic art at the Baltimore Museum of Art, for a lecture on the research and making of Belongings: Changing Hands and Shifting Meanings in African Arts—a new exhibition that examines how historical African objects have accrued layered meanings as they moved through different hands, contexts, and interpretations.

Following the lecture, Jones and Forbes will be joined by Glenn Wharton, professor of art history and of conservation of material culture, and Lore and Gerald Cunard Chair in UCLA/Getty Interdepartmental Program in the Conservation of Cultural Heritage, for a conversation on how curatorial and conservation practices intersect in reinterpreting museum collections, provenance, and colonial legacies.
