Join us for a trip to the Harvard Art Museum, departing from the MSB at 11 am and returning by 5:30 pm. There will be an opportunity to explore the museum, which features art and artifacts from many parts of the world, including new additions to the collection by a diverse range of contemporary artists. The art museum is in the center of campus and near the Harvard Book Store, which will be fun to explore.
A special feature of this trip will be an exhibition by artist LaToya Hobbs and the Salt of the Earth project, which Hobbs characterizes as “the personification of Black women as salt in relation to their role as preservers of family, culture, and community.” A contemplation of nuanced concepts of time and labor, the work offers an affecting visual statement that is at once deeply personal and universal.
