Channel: Chicago Humanities · 2016 · Nonprofits & Activism

Multidisciplinary artist Kalup Linzy defies categorization. Challenging our notions of gender, role, race, and sexuality through film and installation, Linzy’s satirical narratives play with the style of soap operas, telenovelas, and Hollywood reality melodrama, pushing boundaries of dress, culture, and art. Linzy brings his trailblazing work to us for exhibition and discussion.
