Add to Calendar 2025-09-18 17:00:00 2025-09-15 14:11:39 Reception for Art Show - Reparenting the Figure: Temporal paradox, grief and repair Join us for the reception of Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter's art exhibition, "Reparenting the Figure: Temporal paradox, grief and repair". Award-winning multidisciplinary artist Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter will be on campus September 17-21 to show her work in the Kittredge Gallery, visit classes, and meet students. Baxter’s work seeks to interrogate connections between anti-blackness, women’s rights, and systems of neglect within social institutions and society at large. Thus, by centering the lived experiences of Black women and girls and reframing narratives of trauma, she creates nuanced stories about the collective fight for self-determination, communal healing, and repair. This show will focus on Baxter’s reimagining of Thomas Eakins’ photographs in Consecrations of Mary, her film Ain’t I a Woman, and new work created during her residency on campus. Baxter’s visit and exhibit are in conjunction with Crime, Law, and Justice Studies and Mellon Humanities for all Time.    Location Contact Information Peter Stanley pstanley@pugetsound.edu Submitter Contact Information Peter Stanley pstanley@pugetsound.edu support@kwallcompany.com America/Los_Angeles public
