Masked Messages
Masked Messages is a collaborative crowd-sourced art project by artist Leo Selvaggio in response to the Covid-19 epidemic. The project transforms the common face mask into a site/canvas for artistic intervention and expression. The installation is on view in the street level windows of Granoff Center on Angell Street through June 20, 2020. The artist invites you to participate by submitting your own masked message using the link here.

Developments Wayward Geographies
Rivers and bays, plants and seeds, dignity and displacement, livelihoods and dispossession, staying put and fleeing: these were elements around which four scholars—three Brown University students writing senior theses and one professor, all studying the idea of development critically—found common territory, over the past year, for interrogating received notions, for letting peoples’ histories speak beyond the written archives, and for aesthetics-in-practice.
Co-curated by Geri Augusto, Gerard Visiting Associate Professor of International & Public Affairs and Africana Studies, Brown University; Development Track Director, Watson Institute and Frishta Qaderi ’20, Development Studies, with contributions by Aubrey Calaway ’20 and Reda Semlani ’20 (both Development Studies concentrators).
