Gallery Talk

In-Person
Harvard Art Museums
32 Quincy Street, Cambridge, MA

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

Join Natalie Bell, curator at the MIT List Visuals Arts Center, to consider how Sung Tieu’s works, often made using appropriated or found objects, evoke histories of displacement or erasure. What more can be seen when we consider these lived experiences entangled with and shaped by these forms?

This talk is offered in conjunction with the special exhibition Made in Germany? Art and Identity in a Global Nation (September 13, 2024–January 5, 2025).

Led by:
Natalie Bell, Curator, MIT List Visual Arts Center
