Join Legacy Russell for a conversation about her curatorial practice over lunch!
Legacy Russell will be in conversation with Benjamin Jones in an informal lunch setting with faculty and graduate students from across Ohio State. This lunch is in advance of her talk with artist Vitória Cribb that evening at the Wexner Center for the Arts film/video theater at 4:30 PM.
