Description
Inspired by Carrie Mae Weems’ photo narrative series of the same name, The Kitchen Table Conversations are a three-part series of community programs intended to spark conversations surrounding identity, culture, and experience. For each event, GRAM has paired with a socially-focused local organization to feature presentations and facilitate discussions based on themes explored in Weems’ work.
Join GRAM for the final installment in the event series, featuring a conversation between Hannah Berry from Lions and Rabbits, poet Ebony Davis from The Diatribe, and Zahabia Ahmed-Usmani from Kaufman Interfaith Institute on the role of art in responding to, commenting on, and facilitating social change.
To ensure community access to these discussions and the accompanying exhibition, the series will be free to the public as part of Meijer Free Days.
