The Work of Several Lifetimes

Visual artist Mario Moore sought to shine a light on the African American men and women who work in blue collar jobs at Princeton.

“The Work of Several Lifetimes,” was an exhibition of new work created by Moore depicting black men and women who work at or around Princeton’s campus. Moore was a 2018-19 Hodder Fellow in the Lewis Center for the Arts.  In 2019, the University purchased the following portraits of long serving Princeton employees.
