On October 25, 2025, co-curators Clarisse Fava-Piz, Claire Durand-Ruel Snollaerts, and Nerina Santorius will host a conversation at the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the exhibition "Pissarro’s Impressionism." The talk will explore Camille Pissarro’s life and legacy, from his Caribbean roots to his role in Impressionism, and detail how over 80 works were assembled for the first major U.S. retrospective of the artist in over 40 years. The event is sold out in person but will be livestreamed.
This conversation matters because it provides rare insight into the curatorial process behind a landmark exhibition that repositions Pissarro within art history, emphasizing his global background and collaborative spirit. It also highlights the Joslyn Art Museum’s role in hosting a significant scholarly event that connects the public directly with curatorial research and decision-making, reinforcing the importance of museums as sites for both education and cultural dialogue.
