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.

Join us on Friday afternoons for Encounter: Conversations on Catholic Social Tradition, lectures by distinguished scholars in the field of Catholic social teaching, who will share their insights and provide critical conversation on matters of justice and the common good. Reception to follow. Victor Carmona is associate professor of theology and religious studies at the University of San Diego. Carmona’s research advances theological-ethical analyses of migration with a global perspective grounded in Latinx points of view. His dual aim is to draw from the wisdom the Catholic tradition offers to create more just immigration systems and to nurture its ability to do so in increasingly pluralistic and interdependent societies. Publications include chapters on immigration in Human Families: Identity, Relationships, and Responsibilities (Orbis, 2021), where Carmona takes up the challenges of global migration, particularly at the US southern border, and the moral and political questions shaping this ongoing reality as it relates to families, in Value and Vulnerability: An Interfaith Dialogue on Human Dignity (University of Notre Dame Press, 2020), where he analyzes the US and European efforts to externalize their border enforcement to stop Central American and Syrian refugees attempting to reach their borders, and in Sex, Love, and Families: Catholic Perspectives (Liturgical Press, 2020), where he tends to the dilemmas that mixed-status families are confronting in daily life to diversify Catholic reflections on family ethics. https://socialconcerns.nd.edu/event/encounter-series-migration-a-prism-of-encounter-with-god-self-and-neighbor/
