Artist Talk with Erin M. Smith Glenn

Join us for an insightful Artist Talk with Erin M. Smith Glenn on Saturday, May 30 starting at 1:00 pm as she talks about her current exhibition Coming of Age | New Works of the HAIRitage Series. This exhibition will be on display in the Lindner Gallery until July 11, 2026.

Since her graduate school experience at the University of Cincinnati D.A.A.P. (College of Design, Architecture, Art & Planning) program in 2008, Erin M. Smith Glenn has been constantly examining, understanding, and developing what HAIRitage means to her, and how she can use it as a means to serve her community. From two-dimensional works to installations and interactive works, engaging the senses through this ongoing series addresses Black hair culture in a way that demands its attention; begs to justify the discriminations against it; commands the viewer; and ultimately upholds the values of her ancestors.
