Here, senior Mahnoor Ali talks to visitors about Sanford Robinson Gifford’s Leander’s Tower on the Bosporus. Her tour, titled Exploitation and Reclamation, focuses on art that marginalizes or exotifies non-western cultures. She’ll also discuss the responsibility of both artists and viewers to fill in the gaps created by exploitative visual narratives.
