(In)Hospitable Bodies Speaker Series
Center for the Arts in Society Hospitality Initiative
November 22, 2024 - 5:30-7pm (doors open at 5pm)
Please RSVP
Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry, CFA 111
Interested in feminist microhistories, letterforms, bugs, and/or activism in creative practice?
This panel investigates how “who we are” shows up in our creative practice, who knows or notices, and why it does (or doesn’t) matter. In an effort to identify some of the common questions that we are asking about identity and creativity across CFA, we bring together faculty from each School for an evening of cross-disciplinary discussion.
This event is part of a Speaker Series hosted by the Center for the Arts in Society’s (In)Hospitable Bodies project. (In)Hospitable Bodies investigates the ways in which a body welcomes and is welcomed in certain spaces. It asks: how are bodies unwelcomed, excluded, or devalued in certain situations, settings, and systems? At its core, the project interrogates where and why and how people include–or compartmentalize away–aspects of their lives in their creative or professional practice, and the ways in which societies and communities have pressured them to do so.
