Work is a universal human experience whether the work is done for money or out of expectation. This exhibition explores prints and photographs of different kinds of labor that challenge the viewer's own relationship to work.

This exhibition places artificial intelligence into an historical context as artists mark milestones in the development of technology and its impact on society. These artists alternately embrace AI for its potential to reflect the human condition and critique it for its seductively banal entertainment value and potential for social isolation.

Every day, hundreds of thousands of people cross borders. At these crossings, governments ask individuals to present papers for verification of migration status, documents that restrict entry to those individuals lucky enough to be verified by proof. This exhibition presents artists whose work on paper deals with issues of borders, migration, dual identity, as explored through print media. Emma Nishimura, 6 – An Archive of Rememory, 2016-ongoing

Join The Griot Institute and Bucknell University Press, alongside author Wendy Thompson to celebrate the newest publication in the Griot Project Book Series, Black California Gold. In this arresting debut poetry collection, Thompson traces the past and present of California's Bay Area, exploring themes of family, migration, girlhood, and identity against a backdrop of urban redevelopment, advanced gentrification, and the erasure of Black communities. Wendy M. Thompson is an Oakland native and author of the debut poetry collection, Black California Gold. Her creative and scholarly work explores the Second Great Migration, the black Bay Area, mixed race mothering, the natural and built environment, race and visual culture, and the black middle class. She is an Associate Professor of African American Studies at San José State University.
