The Ruth J. Simmons Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice’s 2022–2023 Heimark Artist in Residence is Renée Elizabeth Neely-TANNER. Neely-TANNER, originally a member of the Class of 1976, returned to Brown to graduate in 2012. Her work explores the intimate relationships BIPOC have always had with their environment. Not simply as laborers, but as environmental stewards–a complex and unique position linking freedom and green.
Speculative Ecologies The Intimate Bond of Freedom and Green is on view May 26, 2023–December 8, 2023 in our gallery at 94 Waterman Street. The gallery is open Monday–Friday, 10am–3pm and is closed from noon-1pm for lunch. The gallery is also closed for school and federal holidays.
Please note: the Simmons Center will be closed November 16, 17, 22, 23, and 24.
This exhibition, catalog, and related events are made possible through the generous funding of the Simmons Center’s Heimark Artist in Residence program.
