About this event
On November 4 at 5 p.m., Dr. Tiffany E. Barber will bring W.E.B. Du Bois's pioneering data visualizations into dialogue with Alma Thomas's luminous abstractions, tracing a shared commitment to visualizing Black life beyond statistical reduction or representational constraint. Together, Du Bois and Thomas reveal how data can function as both evidence and imagination, expanding the possibilities of aesthetic practice, historical interpretation, and collective liberation. Dr. Barber, Assistant Professor of African American Art at UCLA, is an award-winning scholar, curator, and critic. Public reception to follow. In-person and streamed. https://scma.smith.edu/millerlecture2026
