Location: McKnight Art Center, Room 210

The Ulrich Museum of Art welcomes NEH Fellowship Award-winning writer and scholar Dr. Derrais Carter to speak on his research, which examines Black masculinity, Black queer culture, and Black popular music. Carter’s presentation will closely connect to themes represented in the exhibition Devan Shimoyama: Rituals (currently on display in the museum's Polk/Wilson Gallery), and will give fresh context and new perspectives to the works.

Having formerly taught in the Department of Gender & Women’s Studies at the University of Arizona, Carter is now associate professor in the Department of Africana Studies at University of Massachusetts, Boston.

This free program begins at 6 p.m. and takes place in McKnight Art Center, Room 210. Everyone is welcome.
