Registration required.

Informed and inspired by the struggles and determination of Americans seeking equality, Hammonds appropriates imagery from various eras and civil rights movements to deconstruct and memorialize identity and activism in America. For this exhibition, the Cincinnati-based artist has combined select objects from the museum’s collection of world-wide family heirlooms with his contemporary multimedia work to create narratives that explore the complex connections between place, race, class and aspiration. Participants will enjoy dinner, a lecture from the museum’s Curator of Decorative Arts and Design, Amy Dehan, and an interactive art demonstration.

About Evenings for Educators  
A monthly professional development that explores visual art through a STREAM-focused interdisciplinary lens, welcoming educators of all disciplines and supporting teachers at every stage of their careers—from emerging to experienced teachers. Drawing on the museum’s collection and special exhibitions, each session offers cross-curricular insights that support a wide range of classroom and community-based learning environments. Emphasizing creative, critical, and collaborative approaches aligned with best practices in Twenty-First Century Learning strategies, the program is open to school-based and community educators alike—including teachers of all grade levels and subjects, teaching artists, pre-service education majors, volunteers, and museum professionals. 

Continuing education certificates are available and awarded following the conclusion of the workshop series (in May). Graduate credits are available for an additional fee, through the Art Academy of Cincinnati.
