Gallery Talk—The Tiles of SLAM: Urban Identity from the Islamic World to the Midwest
As a part of SLAM’s University Day, join Sam Brady-Myerov in Gallery 120 to discuss tiles as tools for translating urban identities. Looking across two distinct time periods and locations, visitors can see tiles as a critical force in shaping collective understandings of space, history, and culture.
