Panel Discussion
Disidentification: Race, Sexuality, and Contemporary Art
In conjunction with Glenn Ligon America, a distinguished panel of scholars from various fields and art disciplines discuss ideas presented in José Esteban Muñoz’s 1999 book Disidentifications: Queers of Color and the Performance of Politics, described by the University of Minnesota Press as “an important perspective on the ways outsiders negotiate mainstream culture.” As a member of the panel, Mr. Muñoz will share his personal insights and ideas along with fellow panelists: moderator, Noah Simblist, an artist, Southern Methodist University professor of art who recently co-curated Queer States at the Visual Arts Center at the University of Texas, Austin; Annette Lawrence, an internationally recognized artist based in North Texas and professor of art at the University of North Texas; Roberto Tejada, a poet, critic, curator, editor, and Southern Methodist University’s Distinguished Endowed Chair in Art History; and Rose Pulliam of Allgo, a Texas support organization for queer people of color based in Austin. Join us for this unique opportunity on May 1, 7 to 8:30 pm in the Modern’s auditorium. This program is free and open to the public, but tickets should be picked up at the information desk to assure seating.
Modern Graduate Series
The Modern Graduate Series aims to foster and sustain a vibrant, creative dialogue among fine arts and art history graduate students from across the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. The series is a succession of quarterly meetings where area graduate students can experience the Modern’s special exhibitions and attend lectures by visiting artists, scholars, and art professionals from across the state. Prior to each lecture, graduate students will enjoy complimentary access to the galleries. Following the lecture, participants can enjoy thought-provoking discussion, light snacks, and drinks with the speaker at Café Modern.
