Art & The Archive, launched Fall 2020, is a conversation series that will explore the role of the archive in the production of art and culture. Featured speakers will include writers, archivists, artists, and researchers who all engage with archives in meaningful ways. Attendees can expect a lively, expansive discussion of how archives unfold in our everyday lives. This series is sponsored by Decker Library, in collaboration with the Art History and Humanistic Studies Departments.

This year's panel features two artists and art educators whose research and practice uses the archives to tell the stories that have been hidden, misrepresented, and otherwise untold. Nicole Marroquin is a transdisciplinary artist and teacher educator who explores youth resistance movements, belonging, and spatial justice through histories of Black and Latinx Chicago. Dr. Pamela Harris Lawton is the Florence Gaskins Harper Endowed Chair in Art Education and thought leader for the Hurwitz Center at Maryland Institute College of Art. A fifth-generation educator from Washington, DC, her scholarly research and teaching revolve around visual narrative and intergenerational arts learning in BIPOC community settings.
