Cromwell Day Art Showcase Highlights Artistic Responses to Racial Violence

Tuesday Nov. 10 Smith College held its annual Cromwell Day, and though this year's symposium took place virtually, it was still an impactful opportunity to come together, reflect and learn. This year’s celebration was entitled, “Tackling Anti-Blackness: Moving Past the Abstract” and featured speakers, workshops and student art pieces. It concluded with a showcasing of student artwork that grappled with the harrowing history of racism in the United States as well as devastating current events such as the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor which have sparked civil unrest across the nation.
