Miguel Abreu Gallery
88 Eldridge Street
May 27, 2025, 6–8pm

A panel discussion with historian Vincent Brown, sociologist Kim Lane Scheppele, and artist PAUL CHAN, moderated by art historian Yve-Alain Bois. Opening remarks and a brief recounting of events affecting the art world to date will be given by fellow art historians David Joselit and Leah
Dickerman. Hal Foster will lead an open conversation following the panel on “unwriting history.”

This convening on the current political conjuncture and its effects on cultural institutions will present firsthand accounts of the recent, swift and unsparing assaults on academic and artistic freedom, and assess the current and pending threats to artists, scholars and cultural producers. The presenters will engage in a conversation to share knowledge, and together we’ll aim to strategize opportunities to nurture counterforces.
