FSU’s Museum of Fine Arts announces guest lecture series
The Florida State University Museum of Fine Arts (MoFA) will host a series of guest lectures that will highlight speakers who utilize diverse approaches to their creative practice and lead discussions that are vital to the arts and the community.
Meredith Lynn, MoFA’s assistant curator and director of galleries, said that the museum is thrilled to bring these artists to the FSU community.
“Although they work across different media, Earlonne Woods, Nigel Poor, Hank Willis Thomas and Wendy Red Star have all illuminated historic and structural inequalities and shaped our ongoing conversations about the impacts of mass incarceration, colonialism and institutional racism,” Lynn said. “Our students are currently contending with these issues in their lives and in our classrooms, and it is our hope that these programs will inform and uplift the vital work happening in our community.”

Walking through the empty gallery halls at the Matheson History Museum in Gainesville every day hurts Dixie Neilson to her core. The museum has been closed to visitors since March, and as quiet as museums typically are, these bare walls and silence felt different.
“It’s a challenge for us both physically and emotionally,” said Neilson, the executive director. “We love the public, and we really want them to share things with us.”
But they all are facing significant financial hits as the pandemic continues to ravage the nation.
