Tear Down and Rebuild and Tear Down: Exhibition Tour

Shauna Thompson

In this conversational walking tour of Esker’s Fall exhibitions, we’ll spend time discussing how the works of the Bomfords, Fassler, and Cibic address examples of public space and architecture, along with how these sites both influence and are indelibly marked by politics, power, and national identity.

Registration recommended.

Thursday, December 8th 2016 @, 7-8pm
