Photo courtesy of artist. Decolonization is defined as the act of freeing a country/people from being dependent on and oppressed by a more aggressive culture. For this evening of performance art nine artists will take on race, sexuality, and body politics to fuel “Your Decolonizing Toolkit.” You are invited to talk about race with Dominique Duroseau in her piece "A Rap on Race with Rice;" this literal work starkly contrasts Shani Ha’s textile sculptures that are an abstract investigation of social boundaries. To break conventions of silencing Kanene Holder will perform her word association piece based on current affairs and David Antonio Cruz will perform “The Piano Piece,” a celebrated piece that deals with his queer-Latino identity, on the street. The evening will culminate in actions of deconstructing as exhibited in the performance collaboration between Maria Hupfield, Esther Neff and IV Castellanos In light of America’s current political situation where complex issues of discrimination based on race and sexuality are being investigated, decolonization of the mind is more important than ever.

    RAMAPO COLLEGE OF NEW JERSEY Office of Marketing and Communications Press Release January 19, 2018 Contact: Angela Daidone E-mail: [email protected] Phone: 201-684-7477 Exhibition amillionlittlepieces by David Antonio Cruz Opens in Kresge Gallery MAHWAH, N.J. -- On Wednesday, January 31, in the Kresge Gallery of the Berrie Center for Performing and Visual Arts, the exhibition amillionlittlepieces by David Antonio Cruz opens to the public. There will be an opening reception from 5 to 7 p.m. with an artist’s talk at 6 p.m. The exhibition continues through March 2. David Antonio Cruz is an interdisciplinary New York-based artist who is receiving increasing critical acclaim for his painting, video, and performance work. The exhibition at Ramapo features striking psychological figure paintings, as well as other media including performance-related objects. Cruz offers the following statement about his work: “I explore the nuances of genderqueerness, race, and public and private spaces, and the invisibility of the brown/black body through the use of portraiture and opera-like performances. I draw from queer discourse and texts, and the politicization of the brown/black male body. I’m interested in interjecting the portraiture canon with brown and black bodies to further complicate heteronormative perception of male identity, the male to male gaze, and the intersectionality of gender fluid and queer bodies that are not often discussed or represented in history, and marginalized in our society.” David Antonio Cruz was born in Philadelphia, and received a BFA in Painting at Pratt Institute and an MFA from Yale University.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reading RuPaul’s Drag Race: Queer Memory, Camp Capitalism, and RuPaul’s Drag Empire A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance by Carl Douglas Schottmiller 2017 © Copyright by Carl Douglas Schottmiller 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Reading RuPaul’s Drag Race: Queer Memory, Camp Capitalism, and RuPaul’s Drag Empire by Carl Douglas Schottmiller Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor David H Gere, Chair This dissertation undertakes an interdisciplinary study of the competitive reality television show RuPaul’s Drag Race, drawing upon approaches and perspectives from LGBT Studies, Media Studies, Gender Studies, Cultural Studies, and Performance Studies. Hosted by veteran drag performer RuPaul, Drag Race features drag queen entertainers vying for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar.” Since premiering in 2009, the show has become a queer cultural phenomenon that successfully commodifies and markets Camp and drag performance to television audiences at heretofore unprecedented levels. Over its nine seasons, the show has provided more than 100 drag queen artists with a platform to showcase their talents, and the Drag Race franchise has expanded to include multiple television series and interactive live events. The RuPaul’s Drag Race phenomenon provides researchers with invaluable opportunities not only to consider the function of drag in the 21st Century, but also to explore the cultural and economic ramifications of this reality television franchise. ii While most scholars analyze RuPaul’s Drag Race primarily through content analysis of the aired television episodes, this dissertation combines content analysis with ethnography in order to connect the television show to tangible practices among fans and effects within drag communities.

    THE BASS MUSEUM OF ART 2100 Collins Avenue Miami Beach, FL 33139 www.thebass.org FORTHE IMMEDIATE RELEASE BASSTHE BASS PRESENTS AN EXHIBITION & IMMERSIVE ART EXPERIENCE BY MICKALENE THOMAS TO OPEN DURING MIAMI ART WEEK Mickalene Thomas: Better Nights on view December 1, 2019 – September 27, 2020 MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (NOV 19, 2019) – The Bass, Miami Beach’s contemporary art museum, will open Mickalene Thomas: Better Nights, an installation that transforms the galleries into an immersive art experience for the duration of the exhibition, starting on Sunday, December 1. The exhibition is inspired by the parties the artist’s mother hosted with friends and family during the 1970s and 80s to fundraise for their theater productions, including 'Put a Little Sugar in my Bowl,' as well as to raise money for her treatment of sickle cell anemia. First introduced with Better Days in 2013, this new iteration unfolds into the second chapter of Thomas’ transformations of social “experiment” pleasures by re-imagining a black radical aesthetic. The installation embodies a feeling of home, yet also a speakeasy, conceptually reconstructed according to the domestic aesthetic of the period, including faux wood paneling, wallpaper and custom designed and reupholstered furniture with the artist’s signature textiles and mirrors. An extension of Thomas’ artistic universe, the installation plays with artifice, developed through intersections between real and faux elements. This exhibition incorporates both work by the artist and a selection of work by emerging and prominent black artists curated by Thomas. Exhibiting artists include: painting and photography by Nina Chanel Abney, Derrick Adams, David Antonio Cruz, Lyle Ashton Harris, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, Xaviera Simmons, John Edmonds, Alexandria Smith, Adrienne Raquel, Arielle Bobb-Willis, Micaiah Carter; and video work by Christie Neptune, Devin N.
