A faculty dialogue with Sarah S. Willen (UConn Anthropology) and Alexis L. Boylan (UConn Africana Studies/Art and Art History), co-curators of Picturing the Pandemic: Images from the Pandemic Journaling Project, now at Hartford Public Library Downtown.

The co-curators will discuss the power of journaling, what it was like to collaboratively curate a show, what truth we can find in images of the pandemic, and the importance of our communal participation in visual records and memory of the pandemic. Held in conjunction with the upcoming exhibition, Seeing Truth: Art, Science, Museums, and Making Knowledge.
