Curative Collective Conversation: Shana Klein

In this series, join us for in-depth interviews with the Curative Collective, a group of Women, Arts, and Social Change partners working at the intersection of food, art, and social change. From advocacy and social justice to healing and restorative self-care, this diverse collective serves communities throughout the Baltimore–Washington metropolitan area. The Curative Collective is also working on NMWA’s exhibition, RECLAMATION: Recipes, Remedies, and Rituals to make sure that the exhibition incorporates local communities and their perspectives.

This week, we are joined by Shana Klein, author of “The Fruits of Empire: Art, Food, and the Politics of Race in the Age of American Expansion.” This book demonstrates how pictures of food were not mere decoration, but a platform for artists and viewers to discuss heated debates over race and citizenship.

This event will be livestreamed on  NMWA’s Facebook page  and at  nmwa.org/livestream.
