“Toni Morrison: Sites of Memory” begins Feb. 22 at Princeton University Library's Millberg Gallery, as the anchor for months of exhibitions and performances.
Give NowMore than three years after her death, Toni Morrison’s former teaching grounds of Princeton University will honor the writer with a community-wide series of art exhibitions and events exploring her creative process and its impact.
There will also be a spring lecture series and a three-day symposium in which more than 30 writers and artists will gather to reflect on Morrison’s legacy. “It is difficult to overstate the importance of Toni Morrison’s writing to American literature, art and life,” said Autumn Womack, an assistant professor of English and African American studies at Princeton, in a statement from the university. “This exhibition draws us toward the unexplored corners of her writing process and unknown aspects of her creative investments that only live in this archive.
Morrison taught literature and writing at Princeton University for 17 years, beginning in 1989. The university later named Morrison Hall, home to its Department of African American Studies, after the author. Over the course of her career, Morrison also taught at SUNY Purchase, SUNY Albany and at Rutgers University’s New Brunswick campus.
