Wednesday evening, artist La Vaughn Belle be joined by curator and writer Gervais Marsh for a collective conversation in conjunction with the exhibition For the Love of Fragile Things at Pace University Art Gallery.

They imagine an artist conversation that could take a different form, one that moves between conversation, music, and choral reading. They have each been thinking about the question of who gets to be fragile, and will use that as one point of departure for a larger conversation about memory, rupture and repair, what we inherit, what we choose to hold onto, and how we might imagine otherwise.

Wednesday, September 23 | 6:30–8 PM
Pace University Art Gallery
41 Park Row, NYC

You are invited to the free public opening reception tonight, Friday, September 18, 2026, from 5:00–7:00 p.m., celebrating renowned artist La Vaughn Belle’s solo exhibition, For the Love of Fragile Things, at the Pace University Art Gallery.

“I make work about fragile things, like memory and history and what it means to be human in spaces like the one I was born into: an island space, a Black space, a colonized space,” Belle says. “A space teeming with the beauty of tropical splendor and soaked in the violence of colonial ruin.”

This exhibition and the preceding artist residency are part of Pace University’s Islands, Archipelagos, and Cultural Ecologies project, funded by the Mellon Foundation, which brings together interdisciplinary studies of the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Marshall Islands, and New York City’s 42 islands.
