Continuum: Uniting Queer Artists Across Time | Unfinished Work
This event has passed
Location: Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art | 26 Wooster Street New York, NY 10013
Event Details
In the context of The Plural of He, and in memory of Colin Robinson (1961–2021), the Trinidadian American poet, critic, and unsung hero of social and sexual liberation movements in New York, the Caribbean, and throughout the world, join the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art and the American LGBTQ+ Museum for a relaxed gathering and poetry-reading.
Several poets who were friends of Colin’s, Rosamond S. King, Anton Nimblett, Sur Rodney (Sur), Cheryl Boyce-Taylor, and R. Erica Doyle, read from their own work while engaging Colin’s words and legacy. Together, we share bites, drinks, and reflections on Colin Robinson’s oeuvre in the gallery.
The Plural of He, curated by Andil Gosine, is on view at the Museum through July 21, 2024.
This program is part of the Continuum: Uniting Queer Artists Across Time series, a partnership program between The American LGBTQ+ Museum and the Leslie Lohman Museum of Art that serves as a dynamic bridge, connecting the impactful works of historical LGBTQ+ artists and creators with the vibrant expressions of contemporary LGBTQ+ artists. Through curated exhibitions, talks, panels, performances, and more, Continuum invites you to witness the threads of connection that weave our past and present together through art and creativity.
