The exhibition brings together ten artists–Etel Adnan, Yevgeniya Baras, Nicholas D'Ornellas, Lois Harada, Pao Houa Her, Kimia Ferdowsi Kline, Jordan Nassar, Sheida Soleimani, Andrew I. Wilson, and lauren woods–whose works grow out of personal and generational experiences with war, displacement, and racial and gender-based violence.&nbsp; In visually and materially enticing works, they consider migration, family and cultural history, geopolitics, state violence, resistance, and care.&nbsp;
From there, we will walk together to the Rose Art Museum to continue the conversation through <a href="https://www.brandeis.edu/rose/exhibitions/2026/enlighten.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">En/Lighten: Material and Metaphor</a> and <a href="https://www.brandeis.edu/rose/exhibitions/2026/yinka-shonibare.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Yinka Shonibare: Sanctuary</a>. Works by Alfredo Jaar, Christian Boltanski, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, and Mary Weatherford extend many of the questions raised at the Kniznick. Together, we’ll discuss the relationship between land and personal identity, and experiences of migration and "statelessness.” The tour will end with Shonibare’s Sanctuary City (2024), inviting us to consider the fundamental human need for safety, shelter, and the freedom to determine where and how we belong.

Liberman-Miller Lecture Hall at Brandeis Women's Studies Research Center

Trained in furniture design, Moses brings woodworking and craft traditions into a deeply personal practice centered on family, identity, Black motherhood, care, and community. Using techniques such as coopering and bent lamination, she transforms wood into sensuous, curving forms that evoke the body, shelter, protection, and touch.
Through her lecture, Moses will offer insight into how lived experience, material, and making come together in her work, from reflections on pregnancy, childbirth, and caregiving to broader questions of belonging, healing, and connection. The program offers a chance to hear directly from the artist and to consider how contemporary craft can become a powerful vehicle for storytelling, memory, and social meaning.

Rose Art Museum

Make time to create together at the Rose Art Museum. Inspired by the intimate paintings in <a href="https://www.brandeis.edu/rose/exhibitions/2026/jenna-gribbon.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Jenna Gribbon: Entwined</a>, this participatory drawing workshop invites friends, partners, loved ones, and even new acquaintances to explore the shared experience of seeing and being seen. Through a series of playful drawing exercises, participants will alternate between artist and subject, discovering how careful observation, conversation, and reciprocity can deepen our connections with one another. Inspired by Gribbon's own use of snapshots on her cell phone to crop and compose her paintings, several exercises will also incorporate participants' phones as creative tools for framing, seeing, and drawing from unexpected perspectives.
Led by Ariel Freiberg, the workshop is open to adults of all skill levels, and all drawing materials will be provided. Bring someone special or come on your own. Solo participants will be paired with others, making this a welcoming opportunity to meet new people while experiencing Gribbon's exhibition in a fresh and meaningful way.
Space is limited to 20 participants, and advance registration is encouraged.Image:&nbsp;Jenna Gribbon, Model construct, 2022 [DETAIL]. Private Collection, courtesy of Lévy Gorvy Dayan. © Jenna Gribbon.

<a href="https://brandeis.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_R4auQDwCSfOuCg7fLpQ20A#/registration" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Register Now</a>What does it mean to find sanctuary in a world shaped by conflict, displacement, and shifting ideas of belonging? Internationally acclaimed artist Yinka Shonibare has spent his career using beauty, wit, and theatricality to examine complex histories of colonialism, cultural identity, power, and global exchange. In this virtual conversation with Dr. Gannit Ankori, Henry and Lois Foster Director and Chief Curator, Shonibare will reflect on the ideas and influences that have shaped his groundbreaking practice and the creation of Sanctuary City (2024).
Currently making its U.S. debut at the Rose Art Museum, Sanctuary City brings together 18 illuminated miniature buildings based on historic and contemporary places that have offered protection to people in times of crisis. As Yinka Shonibare: Sanctuary approaches the end of its presentation at the Rose before embarking on a national tour with the American Federation of Arts, this conversation offers a special opportunity to hear directly from the artist about the histories behind the installation and the urgent questions it raises about home, safety, identity, and our interconnected world.Image credit: Yinka Shonibare.

Acme Theater

Wildly funny comedy about a theater company attempting to perform a play while everything that can possibly go wrong does! A fond look at the follies of theater folk, whose susceptibility to out-of-control egos, memory loss, and romantic entanglements turn every performance into a high-risk adventure. Brimming with slapstick comedy, Noises Off is a delightful backstage farce, complete with slamming doors, falling trousers, and flying sardines!

Stazione di Federal

Ask any room of high school or college girls whether they struggle with self-doubt, and nearly every hand goes up. REVIVE With Purpose exists for them, and for the women who’ve felt the same way for years.
Erin Logan founded REVIVE after her own time in group therapy. She noticed that many of the women around her had no one to lean on. Today REVIVE is a 501(c)(3) running small-group workshops across New England. Its six-stage process helps women and teens build coping skills, end unhealthy cycles, and find their voice.
On Thursday, November 12, join us at Stazione di Federal for our annual fundraiser. Expect real stories, inspiring people, and a great night out. Every ticket helps bring REVIVE workshops to more schools, colleges, and women’s groups. <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/revive-with-purpose-annual-fundraiser-tickets-2001386111736?" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">eventbrite.com/e/revive-with-purpose-annual-fundraiser-tickets-2001386111736?</a>
