IN PERSON: What do 17th-century Amsterdam and 1920s Harlem have in common? Join us to explore the parallel stories of Jewish life in Rembrandt’s Amsterdam and African American culture during the Harlem Renaissance as people in both times sought identity, freedom and belonging in a new urban world. Inspired by two major art exhibitions, one at the North Carolina Museum of Art and one at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this course will examine how people in each era used artistic expression to shape the cultural legacy of the era and find resilience in the face of displacement and change. | Lecture + Q&A, Facilitated discussion.
