Godwin-Ternbach Museum Presents a Two-Person Show by Professors Johnson and Slavick

Posted on January 27, 2022

Godwin-Ternbach Museum at Queens College presents “Getting There: Works by Andrew Ellis Johnson and Susanne Slavick,” an exhibition of equally poetic and harrowing works. These works address timely themes surrounding peoples affected by migration due to war, famine, climate change, political repression, and social injustice. The exhibition is on view February 9 through May 13.

The exhibition pairs ink and mixed media on paper works by Johnson, and oil and mixed media paintings on paper and panel by Slavick, with writings by novelists, poets, anthropologists and journalists who have informed their projects and whose words they have included or cited. Among them are Jenny Erpenbeck, Lev Golinkin, Eliza Griswold, Mohsin Hamid, Ali Johar, Maria Melendez Kelson, Jason De León, Blas Manuel de Luna, Suketu Mehta, Yasser Niksada, Prageeta Sharma, Warsan Shire, Wisława Szymborska, and Vu Tran.
