Join us on a journey through an exhibition that spans the intersection of art, literature, and culture that is the culmination of a three-year endeavor undertaken by five curators and an array of Emory Libraries designers, organizers, and archivists.

Part A: “At the Crossroads: A Conversation with the Curators” 

5:00 – 6:00 pm  

Rose Library, Level 10, Woodruff Library

Amid the onset of the pandemic, five curators embarked on a creative endeavor, intertwining the worlds of middle Georgia natives Benny Andrews, Flannery O’Connor, and Alice Walker to shape the exhibit “At the Crossroads with Benny Andrews, Flannery O’Connor, and Alice Walker.” Step into the curators' work and words as they share their perspectives and answer the questions: Who am I? Where am I? What am I seeking?
