Join Associate Curator Elizabeth Gollnick, Ph.D., for a gallery talk of the extraordinary exhibition “Firelei Báez.” Organized by the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston, this exhibition is the first North American survey dedicated to the richly layered work of artist Firelei Báez. Over the past 20 years, she has made work that explores the multilayered legacy of colonial histories and the African diaspora in the Caribbean and beyond.
