Join the Office of Multicultural Arts Initiatives and the Rebecca M. Blank Center for Campus History for a fireside chat with Hanif Abdurraqib as a part of the 18th annual Line Breaks Festival. An essayist, poet, cultural critic, and author of A Little Devil in America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance, Hanif will lead a conversation on the intersections of race, culture, and performance. A follow up Q&A/discussion with the audience will allow UW students to engage with a scholar, artist, and MacArthur fellow on the art of writing culturally relevant prose and the necessity of creating in our current moment.
Reception from 7:00 – 7:30pm.
