Highlights: Lectures

San Francisco-based writer, visual artist, performer, teacher, and curator D. Scot Miller is a seminal figure in the Afro-Surrealist movement. His book AfroSurreal Manifesto: Black is the New Black is generally considered the preeminent text in framing Afro-Surrealism. Miller's talk is in conjunction with Marvelous Freedom: Vigilance of Desire, Revisited, a group exhibition between SAIC and Columbia College. The exhibition explores artmaking through an Afro-Surrealist lens, and re-examines Marvelous Freedom/Vigilance of Desire, which took place in Chicago in 1976 and was the first and largest Afro-Surrealist exhibition in the country at the time. The exhibition will run through March 15 at the Arcade Gallery, 618 South Michigan Avenue.
