- 12:00 PM1hCivic Life Lunch- From Loss to Legacy: Art as Civic Witness with Nancy MarksJumbo Life Calendar | Rabb Room, Barnum Hall
How can art bear witness to the most difficult truths, help communities heal and promote action? Material Witness: Then and Now, a mixed-media exhibit by Boston artist and Tisch College Coordinator Nancy Marks, draws on her mother's experience as a Holocaust survivor to explore how creativity processes loss, amplifies voices, and sparks dialogue. It also examines how memory, history, and civic responsibility intersect with the realities facing immigrants today. Marks uses printmaking, poetry and excerpts from her mother’s memoir. Material Witness: Then and Now will be installed in the Barnum Hall lobby in early October, and this Civic Life Lunch gives participants the opportunity to engage more deeply with the exhibit alongside the artist. Nancy will guide participants through the exhibit and share her perspective on how art can carry forward stories, histories, and collective memory. Together, we’ll consider how civic engagement is not only about action in the present, but also about the ways we remember and honor the past. Registration required, all are welcome. Lunch provided. Learn more about Nancy Marks and her work.

Join us for an evening of discussion around expanding the scholarly conversation, bias in academic publishing, and ways the MyTERN Conversation podcast helps enact restorative justice. We'll hear from Harrison Inefuku as he shares insights from his work on this topic, particularly his writing “Relegated to the Margins.” This year's MyTERN Fellows Rocio Lopez and Jason Stiles will share their experiences recording, editing, and publishing the MyTERN Conversations podcast, and attendees will enjoy a gallery crawl of an exhibit focused around season five of MyTERN Conversations.
