Lunch with the Libraries & Museums: Unveiling the Imprint of Black Women Hidden in Plain Sight

Description

Joseph Plaster is joined by archivist Tonika Berkley and 2023 Tabb Center Fellow Nicoletta Daríta de la Brown to discuss the exhibition "Be(longing): Unveiling the Imprint of Black Women Hidden in Plain Sight,". Learn more about the speakers.

Inspired by her explorations with archival materials related to Ethel Ennis, Billie Holiday, African American real photo postcards, and other special collections at the Johns Hopkins Sheridan Libraries, de la Brown's exhibition contained video, photographic self-portraits, and site-specific performances which addressed culturally significant and deeply introspective questions: How many Black women are living in archives? What happens to us when we are invisible? How can I feel seen, and safe, as a Black woman?

This program, hosted by Hopkins at Home, is in conjunction with the fourth annual Black Alumni Weekend.
