ArtTalks: Tavia Nyong’o
ArtTalks feature notable speakers in lectures, panels, and symposia. The events bring together artists, curators, and other arts professionals to discuss current issues in contemporary art and ideas related to Artpace exhibitions. Join us for a lecture by Dr. Tavia Nyong’o. Nyong’o’s research is rooted in cultural and historical investigation of performance in the black diaspora and 19th and 20th century racial formation in the United States. He received his Ph.D. in American Studies from Yale University and is currently Assistant Professor of Performance Studies at New York University.
This is a hole in his teaching, a hole into which even all his teaching is susceptible of being emptied. He did not leave anyone else the task of delving into this hole, since he rather carefully concealed it.
