VISITING ARTIST COLLOQUIUM: RASHAAD NEWSOME

THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 2021 - 5:00 PM - 6:50 PM - ONLINE

Presented by the Department of Art

Rashaad Newsome will join the UCSB Art Department as the final guest speaker in the Visiting Artist Remote Arts Colloquium. Newsome’s work blends several practices, including collage, sculpture, film, photography, music, computer programming, software engineering, community organizing and performance, to create an altogether new field. Using the diasporic traditions of improvisation, he pulls from the world of advertising, the internet, Art History, Black and Queer culture to produce counter-hegemonic work that walks the tightrope between social practice, abstraction, and intersectionality.

This event is free and takes place on Zoom.
