The first Atlanta University Center Art History + Curatorial Studies Distinguished Lecture of the academic year, Dr. Mia Bagneris will present, Deliberately Defaced: Anti-Blackness and Museum Institutions.

Exposing the shocking story of a duplicitous restorer, the knowing misrepresentation of an important object, the widespread circulation of a damaging and entirely fabricated narrative, and more than three decades of institutional cover-up, this talk analyzes the series of visual culture crimes to which Franz Fleischbein’s 1837 Portrait of a Free Woman of Color has been subject and considers similar examples like that of the Met’s recently acquired work, Bélizaire and the Frey Children(also 1837), in order to unveil the anti-Blackness ultimately at the foundation of conventional art historical inquiry and museum practice.

A panel discussion featuring graduate students from Clark Atlanta University and Emory University who will critically reflect on James Baldwin, “Free as they want to be,” and their own research. As we celebrate the 100th year since Baldwin’s birth, CAUAM wants to interrogate the significance of James Baldwin and his quote that inspired our current exhibition, “Free as they want to be:” Artists Committed to Memory. We invite you to engage with, learn from and celebrate the work of Baldwin, Dr. Deborah Willis, Dr. Cheryl Finley and participating graduate students.

Join us on the third Saturday of each month this fall for an enriching walking tour led by Robert Thompson of Insight Cultural Tourism. The tour begins at 9:30 AM in the front yard of The Wren's Nest and lasts approximately 90 minutes. Afterward, return to The Wren's Nest at 11:00 AM for an exclusive house tour led by one of our knowledgeable guides.

The walking tour will delve into the history of Indigenous people prior to European settlement and highlight significant landmarks along the way, including the Shrine of the Black Madonna, The Beltline, Saint Anthony’s Church, and Hammonds House Museum.

Panelists will share on the intersection between Black and Indigenous identities, and their significance in the fight towards land and environmental justice, sovereignty, and advocacy of the environmental justice concerns relevant to their respective lands (Muskogee Creek, Yamassee, Okmulgee, Chickasaw, Seminole). We will also cover recognition as Black Indigenous people by federally recognized nations, the implications of environmental theology in labor and land acknowledgments, and hyperlocal place-keeping.

The affected neighborhoods and NPU-T are united in our opposition to proposed ordinance Z-24-66, which would make an exception to the citywide ban on data centers by MARTA Stations for the West End only, so that a data center could be built right next to the West End MARTA Station.

On December 3, Atlanta residents will vote in a runoff election for the Atlanta City Council Post 3 At-Large seat.

Join us for an unscripted, 90 minute moderated discussion on December 12 with candidates as we discuss their qualifications, policy platforms, and how they would address social and economic inequality in Atlanta. There will also be an opportunity for audience members to ask questions.

Service Learning Saturdays @ the Outdoor Activity Center (OAC)

This program facilitated by the West Atlanta Watershed Alliance and made possible by a grant from USDA Forest Service for our Atlanta Children’s Forest Network, provides the opportunity for youth 10 years and older to participate in meaningful activities encouraging conservation, stewardship and experiential learning on the second Saturday of every month (excluding January, July, and December).

Activities include trail building and maintenance, invasive plant eradication, habitat restoration and other activities needed to manage the facility and grounds of this unique urban resource!

**Farm Service Days are April through November.

Sign in and orientation will begin promptly at 10:00 AM. Youth and youthful volunteers can earn up to 3 hours of community service each month. All activities will be supervised by an adult coordinator. Activities occur at the Outdoor Activity Center unless another location is specified in advance of the upcoming date. The OAC is accessible via MARTA. If students from Atlanta Public School System, who require 75 community service hours to progress to the next grade level, participate each month they can amass about half of the required hours of service. College Students and other groups are also welcome to participate!
