Object Talk / “O Sonho Da Mascara” with Neva Whitcomb (OC 2029)

Saturday, May 2, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Join us for an Object Talk as Neva Whitcomb (OC 2029) leads an discussion on O Sonho Da Mascara.

As part of the Allen’s Object Talk series, students lead an informal conversation highlighting one of their favorite works from the collection. These short talks, led by our Gallery Guides, offer unique insights into the objects that inspire them most.

Please meet us in the African Ambulatory. We look forward to seeing you there!
