McDonough Museum to present free screening of Toni Morrison film adaptation
October 16, 2021
The McDonough Museum of Art will present a free screening of the film adaptation of Toni Morrison’s novel “The Foreigner’s Home” Thursday, October 21 in the McDonough Auditorium, located in the museum. The screening will be followed by a discussion with the movie’s filmmakers Rian Brown-Orso and Geoff Pingree.
“The Foreigner’s Home” is a feature-length documentary that explores the vision and work of Morrison through an exhibition of the same name that she guest-curated for the Louvre in 2006. The film was written, produced, and directed by Oberlin College faculty, Brown, and Pingree, with Jonathan Demme serving as executive producer.
Private screenings for classes and small groups may be arranged by calling museum director Claudia Berlinski at 330-941-1371.
