Committee on Environment, Geography and Urbanization (CEGU) students, faculty, and friends are invited for a night at the museum to discover and engage the work of Ruth Duckworth and the exhibition Life As A Unity.
This is a social event for students and faculty across the University of Chicago—from CEGU to the arts and humanities to the physical and biological sciences—to mingle, exchange ideas, and get to know each other as well as one of UChicago’s most influential faculty artists, Ruth Duckworth, who was deeply embedded in the Department of Geophysical Sciences and Hyde Park’s burgeoning climate activist community in the 1960s. The evening will begin with an exhibition tour, co-led by Curator of Public Art, Laura Steward, and CEGU undergraduate, Kendra Thornburgh-Mueller.
This event will also include an exhibition scavenger hunt, followed by refreshments and conversation.
FREE, but registration requested.
Co-presented by the Smart Museum of Art’s Feitler Center for Academic Inquiry and the University of Chicago Committee on Environment, Geography and Urbanization.
