Dive into a student-led conversation between the undergraduate Art History Fine Arts Society and the graduate Museum Studies Student Organization with NYU Professor Miriam Basilio and Archivist Danielle Nista at the KJCC Patio about their Kimmel Windows Galleries exhibition, Fighting Fascism: Visual Culture of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) From New York University Special Collections, Tamiment-Wagner Collections, Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archive, and how archives, curation, and public art can be a catalyst for reflection about the political situation today. The conversation will be followed by a tour of the exhibition, on view now at the Kimmel Windows (566 LaGuardia Place).
Miriam Basilio is an art historian and an NYU associate professor in Art History and Museum Studies. Her research interests include modern Spanish and Latin American art, the history of collecting and exhibitions of Latin American art in the United States, and art and political activism.

Fridays on the Patio started in Fall 2021 as a space for community, conversation and food to share and enjoy. The programs are student-centered, but open to all.
