Special program this month

In response to Being Muholi: Portraits as Resistance, artist, writer, and WBUR producer Arielle Gray convened an intergenerational group of Boston-based artists and cultural creatives to document the intersectionality of Blackness and queerness here and now. Featuring activist Chastity Bowick, artist Ifé Franklin, creator JD Stokley, photographer Tyahra Angus, and rapper Mercédes Loving-Manley, this project will result in a series of nuanced audio stories and vibrant portraits by photographer OJ Slaughter that capture these artists as they want to be represented. Join us at 7 pm in Calderwood Hall for a panel discussion featuring some of the participants. Seating is first come, first served for general admission ticket holders.
