Turning Pages Book Club: Beloved by Toni Morrison
Join Museum volunteer docents for a discussion of Toni Morrison’s book Beloved. Explore themes of identity, trauma and cultural survival, while making connections to the exhibition In Frequencies and the work of artist Sydney Cain. Participants should have completed the book prior to meeting. Register online for guiding questions that will be discussed at the book club. Arrive early to place a lunch order with the Café! Space is limited, advanced reservations are recommended.
Questions for discussion:
- Beloved has been classified as historical fiction, a study of generational trauma, a coming-of-age novel, and a ghost story. Which one of these do you think fits the most?
- What particular themes and motifs stood out to you?
- There is much suffering and shame in the lives of the characters, but there are also scenes of blessings and grace. When do these happen?
- How does Morrison’s writing style reinforce the theme that the past is always alive in the present?
- Beloved is often at the top of a banned book list. It is most often taught in Advanced Placement English. What do you think this book has to offer young adults?
- Early in Part 1, Amy Denver tells Sethe, “Anything dead coming back to life hurts.” What do you think of this statement?
- What do you make of the names that Morrison chose for her characters? How do they reinforce the theme?
- Do look at Sydney Cain’s work differently as a result of reading this book?
CANCELED: Reveal: A Talk with Artist Sydney Cain (aka sage stargate)
NOTE: This event has been canceled and will be postponed for a future date, still to be determined. Please contact claire.munoz@nevadaart.org with questions.
Sydney Cain (aka sage stargate) (she/them), is a visual artist born and raised in San Francisco, CA. Their work reflects encounters with unseen realities. Cain’s work draws on their family’s genealogy, and the intersections of urban renewal and displacement on the psychic, spiritual, emotional and physical wellbeing of marginalized communities. Cain’s work, And They Are Not Afraid of the Night Because They Are the Color of It, 2021 is part of the Museum’s permanent collections and currently on view in the exhibition, In Frequencies. Join us for a presentation followed by a discussion moderated by Lance L. Smith.
