Special Tour

Tour This Light of Ours with a very special guest! MacArthur Fellowship winner and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Maria Varela, whose work is featured in the exhibition, joins Skirball Associate Curator Alissa Schapiro to share perspectives on her work and social activism. Maria is a community organizer, writer, and photographer who took up the camera because of the lack of materials showing Black people taking leadership to change their communities.
