On Thursday, April 27th, the poet, scholar, and artist Tracie Morris will join TLH for an in-person event with our past and current Faculty Fellows, staff, students, and wider CUNY community. The event will take place in the Proshansky Auditorium at the CUNY Graduate Center, the last in our Transformative Speaker Series. This multi-media presentation will be focused on equitable pedagogies and active learning, using her book Who Do With Words as a ground text. The hour talk will also incorporate Morris’ poetry, which she has performed internationally.

Morris’s installations and performances have been featured at many national and international museums and galleries including the Dia Art Foundation, The New Museum, The Kitchen Performance Space, The Drawing Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music, The Museum of Modern Art, Albertine, Weeksville Heritage Center, The Victoria and Albert Museum, Queens Museum, the Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning, Centre Pompidou, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, Lévy Gorvy gallery, and multiple times at The Whitney Museum including the Whitney Biennial.
