Our captivating weekend was inspired by our summer special exhibition, Multiplicity: Blackness in Contemporary American Collage, and the opportunity to see a major survey of one of its featured artists, the celebrated Mickalene Thomas. At the Barnes Foundation, we enjoyed a thoughtful conversation between Thom Collins, Barnes Foundation Neubauer Family Executive Director and President, and Jonathan P.
