Join us for a gallery talk with Cayla Roach, the Frist’s summer Education and Engagement intern. Together, we’ll explore Fahamu Pecou’s work on display in the exhibition This Face Behind This Mask Behind This Skin. Cayla will take you on a journey through the inner dialogue she experienced when first viewing the exhibition. This isn’t just a gallery talk, but a journey of self-discovery and reflection.
