Happy Birthday Kara Walker! 

Walker is well known for her provocative cut-paper silhouettes. In 2010, she installed the room-sized work Gone: An Historical Romance of a Civil War as It Occurred b'tween the Dusky Thighs of One Young Negress and Her Heart in our Marron Atrium. Listen to Walker speak about her creative process.

if you had to drop out of a class you are not a failure

if you had to take time off school you are not a failure

if you had to leave school for good you are not a failure

your worth is not determined by academia and this goes doubly so for disabled people and others for whom school is set against them

Three graces.

In these trying times know that I’ll be here rooting for you every step of the way ✨
