Join us for thematic tours inspired by our solo temporary exhibition by Clarissa Tossin, entitled All That You Touch, You Change. These focused experiences in the galleries seek to more deeply consider works of art in light of one of three central themes that are interwoven through the Tossin exhibition: Indigenity, the Environment, and the Cosmos. During the tour, participants will engage with works from the exhibition space as well as selected pieces from our permanent collection. Our goal is to foster a broader conversation about the connections between art, culture, and the world around us. These tours are designed to provide educational experiences that invite a nuanced understanding of the themes that shape Tossin’s work.

The Institute for Social Concerns presents the 2025 Poverty Studies Distinguished Lecture with Andrea Elliott. Reception and book signing to follow. socialconcerns.nd.edu/elliott Andrea Elliott is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who has documented the lives of poor Americans, Muslim immigrants and other people on the margins of power. She is an investigative reporter for The New York Times and the author of Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival, and Hope in an American City, which won the 2022 Pulitzer Prize in General Nonfiction. Invisible Child follows eight dramatic years in the life of Dasani Coates, a child with an imagination as soaring as the skyscrapers near her Brooklyn homeless shelter. Born at the turn of a new century, Dasani is named for the bottled water that comes to symbolize Brooklyn’s gentrification and the shared aspirations of a divided city. As Dasani grows up, moving with her tight-knit family from shelter to shelter, this story goes back to trace the passage of Dasani’s ancestors from slavery to the Great Migration north. By the time Dasani comes of age, New York City’s homeless crisis is exploding as the chasm deepens between rich and poor. In the shadows of this new Gilded Age, Dasani must lead her seven siblings through a thicket of problems: hunger, parental drug addiction, violence, housing instability, segregated schools, and the constant monitoring of the child-protection system. When, at age thirteen, Dasani enrolls at a boarding school in Pennsylvania, her loyalties are tested like never before. As she learns to “code switch” between the culture she left behind and the norms of her new town, Dasani starts to feel like a stranger in both places. Ultimately, she faces an impossible question: What if leaving poverty means abandoning the family you love? https://english.nd.edu/news-events/events/2025/03/06/invisible-child-author-andrea-elliott-the-2025-poverty-studies-distinguished-lecture/
