Talking Politics through Art with Dr. Keith Hennessy
FRI JAN 22 / 7:30pm HST
Registration information forthcoming. (Free)

Hennessy’s work centers collaboration, especially across lines of difference, power and privilege. The work explores the tensions between indigeneity and diaspora, safety and risk, healing and provocation. How can queer and anti-racist ethics be developed as artistic practices? How can cultural practices – art, dance, ritual, ceremony, poetics, healing, food – impact political structures? And what about capitalism…?
