12–1 pm
Behind the Scenes with SCMA and the Botanic Garden

This is an on-line only event.

Join Emma Chubb, Charlotte Feng Ford ’83 Curator of Contemporary Art at SCMA, and Sarah Loomis, Associate Director of Education and Interpretation at the Botanic Garden, for a member-exclusive talk about the collaboration between the museum and garden for Younes Rahmoun: Here, Now, the first North American exhibition devoted to the art of Younes Rahmoun.

Over the last 25 years, Rahmoun–one of Morocco’s leading contemporary artists–has found inspiration in a profound connection to his here and now. Chubb and Loomis will take visitors on a virtual tour of the exhibition and discuss some of the many forms of creative and academic engagement that have rooted as part of this project. The exhibition takes place at four distinct locations. The first three locations are on the Smith College campus in Northampton, MA. The fourth location is at the Ada and Archibald MacLeish Field Station in Whately, MA.
