Gallery Talk: Future Minded: New Works in the Collection

This event does not require registration; see further details below.

Join curatorial fellow Jackson Davidow for a closer look at artworks in the exhibition Future Minded: New Works in the Collection (March 1–July 21, 2024). Davidow will share insights into recently acquired photographs, with a focus on Melissa Shook’s series Streets Are For Nobody (1988–91), about unhoused women in Boston.

Future Minded highlights a selection of works acquired in recent years that exemplify the Harvard Art Museums’ collecting vision and strategies. Nearly all are on display for the first time.

Led by:
Jackson Davidow, John R. and Barbara Robinson Family Curatorial Fellow in Photography, Division of Modern and Contemporary Art
