Dark Matter Panel discussion

Choreographers on Campus will host a panel discussion about racial tension, contemporary uprisings and the forces that seek to control them; moderated by Coordinator of Intercultural Development Liam O'Donnell and featuring:

--Visiting guest artist Jefferson Pinder, Professor at School of the Art Institute of Chicago

--Lafayette Professor of Art and Director of the Experimental Printmaking Institute Curlee Holton

--Lafayette Professor of Art Nestor Gil

This panel precedes the presentation of Dark Matter (at 7 p.m. in Ahart Arts Plaza), an outdoor street performance in which multimedia artist/choreographer Jefferson Pinder examines 21st-century social conflicts of violence and control through break dance.

This performance is incredibly relevant at this moment in our history. 

After the show, Pinder will also hold a Q&A session to discuss reactions to the work.

Dark Matter(s) is sponsored in part by Choreographers on Campus, a Lafayette College initiative funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Dark Matter is organized by the David C. Driskell Center for the Study of African America Art and the African Diaspora at the University of Maryland in collaboration with The Phillips Collection.
