Please join us! In conjunction with the Wanderlust: Actions, Traces, Journeys, 1967-2017 exhibition curated by Rachel Adams (on view: September 7 – December 31, 2017), UB Art Galleries is hosting “Movement, Publics, and Borders: A Roundtable Discussion” on Tuesday, November 14, 2017, at the UB Anderson Gallery from 5:30-7:00 p.m.

This event is free and open to the public, aiming to nuance and address the theoretical, historical, social, and political factors that intersect the concept of “wandering.” Taking into account current US politics and the multifaceted ways that borders cut, describe, negotiate, and circumvent the movement of bodies, the roundtable will include short presentations by the panelists followed by a community-based conversation about the impact of these issues in Buffalo and beyond.
