VISUAL ARTS THE CUBE IS BACK
After being closed for in-person events for more than a year, WSU’s Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, aka the “Crimson Cube,” is open again. The galleries are filling up for spring, with two showcases from its collections open through midAugust, joined this week by two more exhibits. This year’s master of fine arts thesis show is a solo event, featuring the work of graduate student Stephanie Broussard. The artist uses paint to interpret and play with perceptions of space and contrasting themes. She’ll be on-site April 9 from 1-3:30 pm and afterwards hosting a livestreamed artist talk from 4-5 pm. A separate show opening alongside Broussard’s art is a collection of first-edition prints by iconic Spanish artist Francisco de Goya from his last major work, Los Disparates, originally published 36 years after his death. The series reflects the political and social turmoil Spain was experiencing during its creation between 1816 and 1824. — CHEY SCOTT World Without Reason: Goya’s Los Disparates / MFA Thesis Exhibition: Stephanie Broussard • April 6-Aug. 14 / April 6-May 9 • Gallery open Tue-Fri 1-4 pm, Sun 10 am-4 pm • Free • Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU • 1535 NE Wilson Rd. • museum.wsu.edu • 509-335-1910
WORDS LIVED EXPERIENCE
Spokane Community College’s Hagan Center for the Humanities has been delivering an impressive series of online speakers as part of its Diversity Dialogues: Conversations about Race and Equity. That continues this week with University of Washington history scholar Carlos Gil. He’s been teaching about the history of Latin America at the Seattle school for more than 30 years, and his SCC lecture focuses on his own family’s story as he explores Mexican immigration. He captured that story after he retired from full-time teaching when he published his 2012 book We Became Mexican American: How Our Family Survived to Pursue the American Dream. His expertise should make for a fascinating discussion of a population rarely in the spotlight in Spokane. — DAN NAILEN Diversity Dialogues: Carlos Gil • Wed, April 14 at 6:30 pm • free • Online; details at scc.spokane.edu/News-Events/Live-Events
