Hanes Visiting Artist Lecture Series 2024-2025: The Rage of Wildness: Radical Futures. This lecture series will highlight artists creating dialogues and radical gestures that envision a future beyond colonial thinking. We will explore practices that operate in a mode of unknowing, decoloniality, resistance to dominant ontologies, disruption of imposed order, engagement with indigeneity, queerness, and ecological perspectives.
An endowment established in 1983 through the generosity of Nancy and Robin Hanes supports the Art Department's Visiting Artist Series. This important program brings both established and emerging artists to campus to discuss their work in public lectures and to offer individual critiques to our M.F.A. students. The Hanes Visiting Artist series greatly enriches both our academic programs and our outreach to the wider community. All lectures are free and open to the public.
A weeknight or daytime permit is now required after 5:00 pm on weekdays. No permit is required from 5:00 pm Friday through 7:30 am Monday. A $1.00 one-night pass is available in selected lots. More information can be found HERE.
