Curious about works of art that aren’t always included on a BMA tour? Take a DeTour with us each Sunday, where we’ll spend 30 minutes focusing on a work of art that is off the beaten path. 

This Sunday, drop by and join BMA Teaching Fellow Jessica Davis as she facilitates a discussion on Wosene Worke Kosrof’s Words of Justice II located in the African gallery.
