This was a conversation about the removal of Stephen Towns’ paintings inspired by Nat Turner's insurrection from Rosenberg Gallery. With moderation by Rob Ferrell, the panel and Goucher community collectively discussed the boundaries of freedom of expression, the role of art on Goucher's campus, and the role of the institution in facilitating discourse about enslavement and racism, in the past and present. Goucher's relationship to the Black body was examined through Stephen's artwork.

Featured guests and speakers included the artist, Stephen Towns; Myrtis Bedolla, curator of Gallery Myrtis; Zoë Charlton, chair of American University's art department; Nyasha Grayman Simpson, professor of psychology; Ailish Hopper, associate professor of peace studies; Graham Eng-Wilmot, visiting professor of communication and media studies; and Rob Ferrell, photographer and organizer.
