Odalisque: Beauty, Sex, and Slavery

Nell Irvin Painter, Edwards Professor of American History, Princeton University

Location is wheelchair accessible
In this presentation, less a work-in-progress lecture than a fumbling toward a new project, historian and artist Nell Painter discusses “Odalisque,” an artist’s book of 100 drawings and 100 pages of text that points to the fundamental concerns of beauty, sex, and slavery. This talk is part of the GLC Brown Bag Lunch Series. Bring your lunch and we’ll provide the drinks & dessert.

Open to: General public
Admission: Free
