Compelling sentiments on from a selection of engraved mirrors in our special exhibition “vanessa german——THE RAREST BLACK WOMAN ON THE PLANET EARTH.” The language on the mirrors was inspired by text given to the artist by Mount Holyoke community members in response to prompts created by MHCAM Engagement Interns Cortnei Edwards ’22 and Domenica Guaman ’22. The exhibition is on view through May 28, 2023—you don’t want to miss it!

“One of the objects in the exhibition features a pair of boots donated by a community member. german transformed the boots, covering them in rose quartz—a mineral the artist selected because of its long association with “unconditional love and healing.” At the end of the exhibition, German invites visitors to take a small piece of rose quartz with them.”

SAVE THE DATE: Saturday, February 18 @ 1:30pm for the second Sightlines Tour of the year! Join Student Museum Guide Josie Fitz ’25 for a tour that considers passion as a word with two distinct meanings, calling to mind both suffering and desire—and explores how these two themes intersect. Are pleasure and pain intrinsically linked? Can one exist without the other? From antiquity to the present, artists have explored this question. This tour will call audiences to do the same, with each person bringing their own unique perspective to the question of passion.

This Sightlines Tour is best for adult learners. Free and open to the public. For more details, visit our events page: https://artmuseum.mtholyoke.edu/events
