Enjoy a special tour of The Warmth of Other Suns:  Stories of Global Displacement, led by Klaus Ottmann, Chief Curator of the Phillips and Deputy Director of Academic Affairs. It includes 75 historical and contemporary artists from around the world whose work poses urgent questions around the experiences and perceptions of migration and the current global refugee crisis.

The Washington Post said of the exhibit, closing September 22, "[it] should be seen by everyone concerned about the migrant crisis." Also highly impressed by the exhibit, The New York Times art critic Jason Ferago reviews it as "poignant, solemn and utterly shaming."

Read more about the exhibition here.   Admission for seniors is $10, $12 for others. 

Following the tour and some time for individual exploration, those who express an interest can stay for lunch at the Tryst Cafe.

Please RSVP and indicate if you would like to stay for lunch.  Attendees will share transportation.
