Art! with Dr. Ike, Ph.D., Episode 1–Contemporary Art at the Barbershop
July 16 @ 7:00pm
How and why do contemporary Black artists represent the barbershop? In this episode, we’ll look at the artwork of Devan Shimoyama and how the barbershop can be a place of wonder, transformation, and community.
Art! with Dr. Ike, Ph.D. is coming to Tinworks! The fourth season of this public lecture series will take place once a month over the summer and fall to accompany Chisel & Razor Acts I and II. The first episode will begin in the present, with each episode taking us backwards in time to Edmonia Lewis and her contemporaries. We’ll explore how art engages community, memory, Civil Rights, and Abolition by looking at Black artists in US art history.
