Looking Forward, Looking Back: Freedom, Afrofuturism and Reflections on Juneteenth, June 19

Virtual Event

Free

RSVP

In recognition of Juneteenth, NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale will present “Looking Forward, Looking Back: Freedom, Afrofuturism and Reflections on Juneteenth,” a free virtual panel discussion on Saturday, June 19 at 3:00 p.m. This event launches Community Voices, NSU Art Museum’s new initiative supported by the Community Foundation of Broward, that focuses on exploring social and racial inequalities and challenging social structures, including representation in museums. Community Voices will provide a new forum for community discourse as it highlights topics of identity, migration and race through talks, multidisciplinary performances and workshops that are aimed at celebrating diversity and that serve as a catalyst for social change. Join expert panelists Ransford F. Edwards, Jr., Ph.D., Kandy G. Lopez-Moreno, M.F.A. and Rachel Panton, Ph.D., faculty members of Nova Southeastern University, who will look back at the historical context of emancipation, as well as the ongoing tension between the rhetoric of recovery and an imagined and unenslaveable Black future in art, literature, and pop culture.

Tickets are free and must be reserved in advance. For reservations, email moareservations@moafl.org or call 954-262-0258. Tickets may also be reserved online at nsuartmuseum.org.

NSU Community To Commemorate Lives Lost During COVID-19 Pandemic With Tree Planting Ceremony

 

 

NSU’s Office of Facilities Management will host a tree planting and dedication ceremony on Thursday, April 22 at 2:00 p.m. at Gold Circle Lake to commemorate the NSU community lives lost during the Covid-19 pandemic. The ceremony will also celebrate Arbor Day.

During the tree ceremony, a member from the Office of Facilities Management will place the tree and fill it in with dirt as a ceremonial display. There will be a commemorative plaque, speech, and moment of silence as a homage to those lives lost. CDC guidelines, including physical distancing and masks wearing will be required as part of the ceremony.

Prior to the tree planting ceremony, there will be an Environmental Organization Fair from noon – 2 p.m. in the Alvin Sherman Library Quad. During the fair, student groups will have informational tables for attendees to walk through, student art will be on display, RadioX will be present, and as a destress from finals, students will be able to chalk the sidewalk with nature art.

NSU has been designated as a “Tree Campus” by the Arbor Day Foundation. As part of this designation, NSU has committed to planting a tree each year. With the campus community directly impacted by Covid-19, this year’s ceremony will be in remembrance of the NSU community lives lost during the pandemic.
