On the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery & the Transatlantic Slave Trade, we’re honoring the lives, knowledge & labor of the hundreds of enslaved men, women & children who were forced to work in potteries in Edgefield, South Carolina in the 19th century.

This is the first painting by Victorine Meurent to enter a museum collection outside France 👩‍🎨 #Meurent is best known as an artist’s model—she was #Manet’s favorite for over a decade—but she became an accomplished artist herself, making her debut at the Paris Salon in 1876.

Join us this evening as we celebrate the ancient Persian festival signaling the beginning of spring and gather in solidarity with the Woman Life Freedom movement in Iran and other calls for social justice around the world. Enjoy $5 admission! https://t.co/Qp8DjV3LwM
