Art & Advocacy

An exhibition series combining art, speakers, and topics relevant to public health

Fall 2024

Echoes from the Hive is a multimedia exhibit by Carl Harrison Jr. and Kelsey Scult, curated by Diane Appaix-Castro. Echoes from the Hive explores the profound and intricate relationships between bees, nature, and the systems of food production upon which we all depend. In this exhibition, beekeeper and urban farmer Carl Harrison Jr. collaborates with multidisciplinary artist Kelsey Scult to use the hive as both a metaphor and a symbol for resilience, community, and survival. Through this lends, the exhibition reflects on the themes of cooperation, labor, and the sustenance of life. 

This exhibit will be in the Diboll Gallery until December 6, 2024.

Open Monday through Friday 9am-5pm
Saturdays 10am-2pm

  • Exhibition #4: We Bear the Tide, We Brace the Ocean, by artist Angela Tucker. Curated by Diane Appaix-Castro.
    In her first solo exhibition at The Diboll Gallery at Tulane University’s School of Public Health, Emmy Award-winning Director/Producer Angela Tucker is now exploring the realms of Black women’s reproductive health. We Bear the Tide, We Brace the Ocean centers on the embodied experiences of Black uterus-havers, unearthing the intricate dance between pain and reproductive health. In this installation, we traverse diverse reproductive journeys, a convergence of literal and figurative imagery that creates a powerful narrative, a visual dialogue transcending the boundaries of conventional representation.
