Join us for a conversation inspired by our solo temporary exhibition by Clarissa Tossin. All That You Touch, You Change, whose title is drawn from Octavia Butler’s novel Parable of the Sower, challenges us to confront systemic issues, the fate of our environment, and the power of change, while showcasing artwork that echoes these themes. This gathering invites readers of the novel to come together and explore its themes in the context of Clarissa Tossin’s work.
Through discussion, we will examine how the novel's core ideas intersect with the visual language and concepts in the exhibition. Whether you're looking to deepen your understanding of the book, connect with others who share your interest in literature and art, or engage with the exhibition in a new and meaningful way, this book club session is an opportunity to expand your perspective on both the novel and the exhibition inspired by it. Bring your copy of Parable of the Sower and come ready to explore the intersections of literature, art, and social change.
Session 1: Thursday, March 20, 5:30–6:30 pm
Session 2: Thursday, April 17, 3:00–4:00 pm
Session 3: Sunday, April 27, 2:00–3:00 pm
