Join the CFA Conversation on October 4, 2023, featuring renowned artists Alex Callender and Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw. This thought-provoking event will take place at the John D. O'Bryant African-American Institute in Boston, Massachusetts. Callender, an Assistant Professor of Art at Smith College, explores the intersections of myth, colonial legacies, and material culture through her captivating studio practice. Her work incorporates painting, drawing, and installation, using visual forms of historical narrative and repurposed archival imagery. Through her art, she raises important questions about race, borders, environmental instability, and hybridized landscapes.

Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw, a distinguished Professor in the Department of the History of Art at the University of Pennsylvania, will also be speaking at the event. With a focus on portraiture and issues of representation, Shaw examines the construction of race, class, gender, and sexuality in the United States. Her expertise in these areas has led her to serve on the faculty of Harvard University and as the Director of Research, Publications, and Scholarly Programs at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery.

Don't miss this opportunity to engage with these brilliant minds in the art world. The event is co-sponsored by Northeastern University's Africana Studies Program, and admission is free. Mark your calendars for an evening of stimulating conversation and insights into the world of art and culture.

Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University

东张西望望东西

The Botanical Garden is a large place in Harvard University. The greenery is particularly good, but there are indeed few tourists. Maybe everyone only visits the Harvard Museum and Harvard Square.

The experience is very good, the tour guide keeps talking for an hour, amusing everyone. You can experience all the city views on the land surface. The moment I launched the water, I was videoing it. I met other duck boats during the journey. Everyone would learn to duck and say hello to each other.

Freedom Trail

西行阿里

The terminal of the Freedom Trail
This granite monument in Charlestown, Boston, is said to be one of the earliest monuments in the United States, used to commemorate the Battle of Bunker Hill between the British Army and the North American Colonial Militia (OK, I admit that I checked it recently
)
Now this is the terminal of Boston&#39;s Freedom Trail. If the weather is good, you can walk all the way from Boston Park~
The only way to get to the top of the monument is to climb the stairs
There are a total of 294 steps, and numbers are marked every few steps, so that people who are panting and climbing the stairs can have a number in mind

There is actually only a small space on the top of the monument, but looking out through the small windows on all four sides, I immediately feel that climbing the stairs is worth it~

Boston Common

Boston Park is a historic park located in the center of Boston. It is the starting point of the Freedom Trail. Today, Boston Park is an open green park.
