- **Event Description**: Join curator Erica P.

Rather than focusing solely on original use or function, this exhibition reveals the many transitions, hands, and histories these works have passed through from early ownership in Africa to colonial collectors, European markets, and eventually to Los Angeles. Together, we’ll consider how objects carry multiple meanings across time and space, and how museums can invite new voices and perspectives into the stories they tell.Erica P.

Jones holds a Ph.D. and an M.A. in art history from UCLA and a B.A. in art history and anthropology from the University of Pennsylvania.
