In this week’s episode, we do a deep dive on these tools with Fernanda Viégas, whose work in academia and industry focuses on people-centered machine learning.

The artworks in our exhibition A Female Landscape and the Abstract Gesture underscore the effort and care in their creation by revealing the actions through which they were made. Or, as Mildred Thompson, one of the featured artists, described: they make the invisible visible. Similarly, the stewardship of collections and archives requires labor and an ethic of care that is often unseen. Join us on Zoom at 4 PM tomorrow (Thursday, April 18) for a conversation about working with art, archives, and collections; Chassidy Winestock, the exhibition curator, will speak with Melissa Messina (executor, Mildred Thompson Estate) and Holly Smith (college archivist, Women's Research and Resource Center, Spelman College) about the ways that their work intersects with deep care for people, place, and community, fostering connections that can span generations.
