Just when you thought your Zoom fatigue would make your head burst open in a Scanners-style explosion, the Frist comes out with a Thursday full of really worthwhile events on the platform. First up is an educator workshop about exhibiting artist Rina Banerjee at 10 a.m. The session will include a virtual tour of Banerjee’s ambitious multimedia show Make Me a Summary of the World, followed by a live presentation and Q&A with the artist. Follow that with a 1 p.m. educator workshop about the community art exhibit We Count: First-Time Voters. This session will feature a tour of the exhibition and a lesson about the history of the 19th Amendment and its legacy in Tennessee. While you’re at it, why not go all out? Come back at 5:30 p.m. for a talk between one of the artists in We Count, Thaxton Waters II, and the Frist’s engagement director Shaun Giles. The diptych Waters created for the exhibit, “Women Bear Armies but Still …” is a highlight of We Count, and hearing him speak about its inspiration in conversations he had with North Nashville residents will likely be a smart and nuanced departure from the typical political arguments.
