Join us for a panel discussion with curator Lola Ayisha Ogbara and the Let Us Breathe Collective as we explore the themes of veneration, grief, evanescent placemaking, and memorials as monuments. The discussion will delve into the nature of uprisings and social movements, and their significant impact, reflecting on the meaning of Ferguson 10 years later and its echoes in today's global social justice movements.

Panelists: Jennifer Pagan & Damon Williams

The photography show will feature works that capture the themes of grief, veneration, memorials, and evanescence, providing a powerful visual narrative of the ongoing fight for justice.
