Lunch & Learn: Celebration of the Hand with Safe Not Safe
Join us for a free virtual discussion inspired by the exhibit Celebration of the Hand: Safe Not Safe on Wednesday, November 10 at noon. In this public online event, inclusive leadership and culture advocate, Kaneischa Johnson will lead a discussion about the images of BIPOC in Utah and their personal narratives. Attendees will view images of BIPOC in Utah who were asked to present themselves in a space where they felt the safest at this time in their life as well as a space where they do not feel “safe”. Attendees are encouraged to join the conversation by asking questions at the conclusion of the event.
