The Mortimer B. Zuckerman Institute invites the Coumbia community for a conversation with the Institute's Alan Kanzer Artist-in-Residence Julie Mehretu, moderated by Charles Zuker, discussing the artist's work's history and trajectory, interpretations of time and space, and the impact of social inequities. This conversation marks the artist's first open event in her time as the Alan Kanzer Artist-in-Residence at the Zuckerman Institute.

Named one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people in 2020, Julie Mehretu’s work “holds qualities of memory, history, global mobilities, inequities and sense of place...through a universal lens.” ( -David Adjaye, Time Magazine)
