- **Event Description**: Join educators from the Arboretum and the Palmer Museum of Art for the spring 2026 edition of the Garden and Gallery Book Club! We will be discussing A Bigger Picture: My Fight to Bring a New African Voice to the Climate Crisis by Vanessa Nakate, which explores themes that resonate with the Palmer’s special exhibition Insistent Presence: Contemporary African Art from the Chazen Collection, open on February 7. The special exhibition investigates the ways artists use the body as a lens to explore sociopolitical histories, contested identities, and the ways we relate to one another and the spiritual realm. It provides a striking visual counterpart to Nakate’s A Bigger Picture, a memoir that tells how she fought to have the voices of African activists and those from the Global South heard within the larger climate justice movement. Copies of A Bigger Picture will be available for sale at the museum store. Free with registration required.
