SUMMARY:My Studio is a Dungeon is The Studio: Jarrett Earnest and Nayland Blake in Conversation (in person only)
DESCRIPTION:For four decades\, artist\, writer\, curator\, and teacher Nayland Blake has been at the center of discussions of queer aesthetics and contemporary art. Their work has examined racial hybridity\, the ins and outs of the BDSM world\, and the importance of self-representation. From interviews and critical essays to performance scripts and collage pieces\, My Studio Is a Dungeon Is the Studio gathers forty years of Blake’s groundbreaking thought and writing on their personal explorations of kink and creativity as well as on the making\, teaching\, and curating of art and queer culture. Whether delving into furry fandom or analyzing art\, Blake bridges the art and queer kink communities. Join Blake and editor Jarrett Earnest as they discuss art\, race\, kink and queer futures in the midst of the newest culture war. \nNote: this event was originally scheduled for January 25th.
