Listen to the story on KCUR’s website.

The University of Missouri-Kansas City’s Graduate Art History Association is presenting their first exhibition, “We Now Pronounce You: Redefining Marriage in the 21st Century.

The presentation features contemporary artists from UMKC who have created visual interpretations of what marriage means in the current social and political climate. But it’s not just about art. The exhibition also features a weekly lecture series that draws experts from all over campus to discuss the ways marriage has changed over time. Three of those experts were interviewed for a recent segment on KCUR-FM’s Central Standard.

The exhibition will run through Feb. 20 in the UMKC Gallery of Art, Room 203, 5015 Holmes St., Kansas City, Mo. A full schedule of the lecture series is available on the UMKC Gallery of Art’s website.

KCUR-FM is a service of the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
