Our question to consider:&#160;What if liberation starts in the body?<br /><br />This program is part of the <em>Liberation Book Club</em>&#160;at the Jacob Lawrence Gallery. This year-long program series hopes to honor our commitment to social justice and to gather our community to think about the work of liberation through shared texts, art, film, music, conversation, and workshops. Unlike your traditional book club all the reading and study happens together, so no need to prepare.

Join artist Abigail DeVille and curator Jordan Jones for a public conversation centered on the artistic process of transmuting national myths and monuments into potent sites of public remembering, reckoning, and dreaming. Co-presented with the UW School of Art + Art History + Design, this conversation will address the role of historical research in DeVille&#8217;s object-based and performance practice, as well as her alchemical way of transforming found materials into psychically charged paintings, sculptures, and installations.
