ABOUT THE EXHIBITIONS

Cell Personae: The Impact of Incarceration on Black Lives features the arresting sculptural ceramics of Paul S. Briggs, who brings a background in social justice advocacy as a former Baptist minister to inform his work, realizing the inherent physicality of clay and its expressive potential.

SHIFT: What can museums change? is an exploratory project created by students in the Museum Studies program at IUPUI during the spring 2021 Exhibit Planning and Design course. Throughout the run of the exhibit, students will reflect on their work, proposing and pursuing revisions based on what they continue to learn.

Both exhibitions will be on view in the Herron Galleries from March 24 to April 24, 2021.
