After the tour, discuss the exhibition over lunch in our Museum Cafe, included. Members $15, nonmembers $20. Call 610-432-4333 ext 110 to reserve.

Tashima Thomas is an assistant professor in art history at Kutztown University beginning in the fall of 2016. She is a Ford Foundation Pre-Doctoral Fellow and the recipient of the Goldman Sachs Multicultural Afrolatino Junior Fellowship at the Smithsonian. Her interests include focusing on the intersectionality of food pathways, commodities, identities, race, class, gender, and the consumption of culture.
