Conversation | Artist Roberto Lugo and Curator Carolyn M. Laferrière

Friend Center, Room 101
Thursday, April 10, 2025 @ 5:30 pm

Join the artist Roberto Lugo for a conversation with Carolyn M. Laferrière, associate curator of ancient Mediterranean art. On view at Art@Bainbridge, Roberto Lugo / Orange and Black displays a selection of Lugo’s new ceramic works, which draw on the shapes, techniques, and decorative motifs of ancient Greek vases to tell personal and communal stories of contemporary social and political oppression. Shown alongside Lugo’s vases are a selection of ancient Greek vessels from the collections of the Princeton University Art Museum, creating a temporal, visual, and social juxtaposition between ancient and modern. 

Reception to follow. 

LATE THURSDAYS! This event is part of the Museum’s Late Thursdays programming, made possible in part by Heather and Paul G. Haaga Jr., Class of 1970.
