In Open Contempt & Written Out of History – Book Talk and Screening

Join North American Indian Center of Boston at the Loring Greenough House as we dive into the legacy of the enslavement of Black and Indigenous peoples and the work of confronting white supremacy in public art and spaces.

We will have a book talk with Irvin Weathersby, author of In Open Contempt: White Supremacy in Art and Public Spaces. This will be followed by a screening of the short film Written Out of History by Max Carocci and Simona Piantieri. To be followed by a Q&A with community members.

This event coincides with the temporary installation of “Hope Out of Darkness” a sculpture of Solomon Northup co-hosted by North American Indian Center of Boston and Rose Kennedy Greenway. NAICOB is a curatorial partner for the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture “Un-monument | Re-monument | De-monument” project.
