Join the Block Museum Student Associates in The Living Room for a close look at selections from artist LaToya Ruby Frazier’s "Flint is Family" photographic series, a collaborative project between Frazier and the community of Flint to bring attention to the water crisis by showing people whose lives were being impacted by it. The Living Room is a drop-in space at The Block Museum that invites students and other visitors to gather, reflect, and connect with a small selection from the museum’s collection, rotating each month.
Block Museum Student Associates (BMSAs) are Northwestern undergraduates representing interdisciplinary fields of study from across the university. In the galleries, BMSAs extend welcome to our exhibitions and permanent collection and engage visitors in conversations about artworks that spark their curiosity.
Participation level – medium, participants are encouraged to respectfully share their own perspectives, thoughts, and questions throughout the Art Talk.
Programs are open to all, on a first-come first-served basis. RSVPs not required, but appreciated.
About BMSA Facilitators
Keya Soni Chaudhuri, Learning Sciences and Journalism (2027)
I’m a junior from Los Angeles studying Learning Sciences and Journalism with a minor in Spanish (also on a teaching track!) I love making, looking at, and talking about art. The Block is a magical place, and I adore spending time there and at all museums because they are such intentional spaces of reflection— my favorite kinds of “Third Spaces.” I admire the Block’s commitment to community and engaging diverse perspectives, and am so excited to be a part of the team that's helping shape it!
Ashley Kim, Journalism and Art History (2027)
I discovered the Block as a first-year reporting on an art talk for a journalism class. I found every excuse to come back to the museum thereafter! The BMSA program is a wonderful community of faculty & peers across academic disciplines/specializations, and our conversations have indelibly shaped my passion for contemporary art. Outside the Block, I’m involved with Little Joe Ventures at The Garage, where I’m exploring entrepreneurship through art, technology and design.
