In Swoon, her new 20-year retrospective exhibition at the Taubman, renowned contemporary artist Caledonia Curry/Swoon explores timely and complex issues, from personal and collective trauma to the power of art to heal and unite people during turbulent times.

This theme is a powerful thread throughout much of her work, referencing her own personal experiences along with those with whom she’s worked one-on-one to help them heal from their personal traumas.

Swoon will join community experts in the field of trauma for a deep and heartfelt discussion about the power of art to heal.

This Community Conversation is free and welcoming to all, though registration is encouraged to reserve your seat.
