Notes on the Role of the Artist when the world has always been on fire??
An Art, Technology, and Culture Colloquium, presented by the Department of Art Practice with Berkeley Arts + Design as part of Arts + Design Mondays.
with Pope.L
Artist, Chicago
Admission free; register here. Registration required. This event will not be live-streamed on another platform or recorded.
Join us for a talk by Chicago-based artist Pope.L, whom the New York Times called “inarguably the greatest performance artist of our time. . . . Over the course of the last four decades, no artist has so consistently broken down the accepted boundaries of the genre in order to bring it closer to the public, with lacerating, perspicacious and gloriously anti-authoritarian projects that play with our received notions of race and class and almost always cut more than one way.”
