Event Description
In February 2020, Rashad Bell and Nuala Caomhánach co-curated the exhibition Black Botany: The Nature of Black Experience. Join an important conversation that will explore the complexities of creating an exhibition that elevates Black Excellence and considers pathways towards decolonizing botanical science, cultural institutions, and scientific collections. What does it mean to de-center Euro-American narratives and reevaluate a whitewashed history where racism, science, and power were inherently entwined?

- Nuala Caomhánach, Graduate Student at New York University
