Three University faculty members will offer their perspectives on how visual depictions of conflict can help us better understand the human experience of war and trauma during a moderated conversation and facilitated Q&A session at 6 p.m. Thursday (Feb. 23) in the Museum Education Center Grand Hall.

The conversation is inspired by the current exhibition “In/Humanity: Combat and War in Art.”

The following panelists will connect their areas of expertise to themes explored in the exhibition:

Lisa Di Bartolomeo, inaugural Art Museum of WVU Faculty Fellow

Cody Corliss, associate professor of law

Kristina Olson, director of the School of Art and Design and professor of art history

The moderator is Heather Harris, Art Museum of WVU curator of education

A recording will be posted to the Art Museum’s YouTube playlist in the days following the talk.
