Exhibition and Gallery Talk - Toby Sisson: Bearing Witness
Join the Higgins Institute for a lunchtime gallery talk to celebrate an exhibition by Clark University professor Toby Sisson that explores oral history from the Great Migration—the movement of six million Black people from the south to the north between 1910-1970. Sisson’s artwork is a visual meditation on her late father’s origin story in the Mississippi Delta and the family narrative constructed by its retelling. Composed as a series of collages that portray abstract truths in the absence of material proof, these pieces from her An American Journey series counter silences within the historical record of Black America. Professor Asha Best will facilitate.
Admission to the gallery talk is free and open to the public. Guests are encouraged to arrive at 1:15pm for refreshments.
This exhibition will be on display through December 5, 2025, but hours may vary. Please contact [email protected] for more information or to arrange a viewing.
