Afterwards, there will be an in-person author signing facilitated by Frugal Bookstore. About the book:When Theresa Okokon was nine, her father traveled to his hometown in Nigeria to attend his mother’s funeral…and never returned. His mysterious death shattered Theresa as her family’s world unraveled. Now a storyteller and television cohost, Okokon sets out to explore the ripple effects of that profound loss and the way heartache shapes our sense of self and of the world—for the rest of our lives. Using her grief and her father’s death as a backdrop, Okokon delves deeply into intrinsic themes of Blackness, African spirituality, family, abandonment, belonging, and the seemingly endless, unrequited romantic pursuits of a Black woman who came of age as a Black girl in Wisconsin suburbs where she was—in many ways—always an anomaly. Author:Theresa Okokon is an award-winning writer, storyteller, and teacher. Her work has appeared in Elle, midnight & indigo, Hippocampus Magazine, and much more.

Join us for an event introducing The Lost Paintings, a Prelude to Return, an exhibition curated by Joëlle Tomb, Rula Khoury, and Haidi Motola presented at the Overlook Gallery in Fall 2025. The Lost Paintings is an imagined recreation of the last exhibition held in Palestine by Palestinian-Lebanese artist Maroun Tomb, which opened on November 29, 1947 in Haifa. The 1947 opening coincided with the very day in which the UN approved the Partition Plan of Palestine, igniting the Nakba and the forced displacement of some 750,000 Palestinians including Tomb and his family. The fate of the 53 oil paintings presented in the exhibition, as well as most of Tomb’s pre-1948 body of work, was lost to the war and its pillage. The Lost Paintings will convene 53 artists from across Palestine and the diaspora to each create their own interpretation of a single lost painting from the original exhibition, based on the few remaining historical records – the invitation to the 1947 opening and an inventory of the paintings that were displayed in it. This introductory event will include: exclusive insights about some of the original archival artworka storytelling performance by Lebanese singer-songwriter Yamanean artist talk with Sara Mraish-Demeter and panel moderated by Jessica Hernandeza wine selection from the regionbranded merchandise to support this artistic initiativeSpace is limited, so be sure to RSVP soon! -- Street parking available around the gallery.

Marilyn Arsem has been creating and performing live events since 1975 and has presented her work in more than thirty countries around the globe. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, she also teaches performance art workshops internationally.

She incorporates a broad range of media, and often engages all the senses. Her performances are designed to implicate the audience directly in the concerns of the work, to create an experience that is both visceral and intellectual. Sites have included a former Cold War missile base in the United States, a 15th century Turkish bath in North Macedonia, an aluminum factory in Argentina, the grounds of an abandoned tuberculosis sanatorium in Poland, the site of the Spanish landing in the Philippines, and a deserted Russian mining outpost in the Arctic Circle.

Arsem taught at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston for 27 years from 1987 to 2014, establishing during her tenure one of the most extensive programs internationally in visually-based performance art. She has been the recipient of numerous fellowships, awards and grants since the 1980s. She was awarded the 2015 Maud Morgan Prize from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, for which she created 100 Ways to Consider Time. The work consisted of 100 different six-hour performances by Arsem on the nature of time, performed in 100 consecutive days. A book on her work, Responding to Site: The Performance Work of Marilyn Arsem, edited by Jennie Klein and Natalie Loveless, was published in 2020 by Intellect Books of the UK. Her work is featured in Rachel Zerihan’s The Cultural Politics of One-to-One Performance: Strange Duets, which was published by Palgrave MacMillan in 2022 Information Source: Tufts University Art Galleries | eventbrite
