Show 16 | MyWeberMedia.com| February 1, 2018 ABOUT THE ARTIST WSU’S SHAW GALLERY PRESENTS: EXHIBITION RUNS FEBRUARY 23 - APRIL 7, 2018 “Under looming threat of death, how might we inspire life?” FAHAMU PECOU “My work seeks to provide a crucial intervention in contemporary representations of Black masculinity. I began my career experimenting with the branding strategies employed in hip-hop music and entertainment. These experiments ultimately led me to question not only the stereotypes engendered by the commodification of hip-hop culture, but more, to consider how the influence of historic and social configurations of race, class and gender impact and inform these representations.” www.fahamupecouart.com THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22 ARTIST LECTURE AT 6 PM FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23 INTERSESSIONS AT 6 PM Kimball Visual Arts Center // Room 120 Kimball Visual Arts Center // Room 120 *Intersessions is a curated conversation between artist Fahamu Pecou and notable figures from the arts and hip hop communities.
