An Expansive Installation
Younes Rahmoun: Here, Now (August 30, 2024–July 13, 2025) is the first North American exhibition devoted to the art of Younes Rahmoun, one of Morocco’s leading contemporary artists. The exhibition takes place at four locations at Smith: SCMA, Lyman Plant House, Paradise Pond, and the Ada and Archibald MacLeish Field Station. It features new site-specific commissions alongside a selection of major sculptures, drawings, videos, and installations that Rahmoun has made over the last 25 years.

On View at Neilson
What is a doll? And what role do they play in our lives? These questions are addressed in a student-curated exhibit on display on the third floor of Neilson Library. Vivian Derosa ’24’s “Dolled Up: Playing with the Dolls of Special Collections” seeks to explain how the history of dolls coexists with our ideas about gender, race, and class.
