The Blue Hill Library and Peninsula Pride will present a talk on Monday, June 22 at 6:30 p.m. with art professor Christopher Scott Brumfield for his annual tour through LGBTQAI art and art history. Brumfield will touch briefly on many kinds of art and different manifestations of queer identity in art, and will discuss artists from Palestine, Ukraine, Iran, Indonesia, Cuba, Iceland, Congo, Sudan, Mexico, and other countries. Artists featured will include Etel Adnan, Abraham Ángel, Félix González Torres, Ahmed Umar, and more. This talk is appropriate for all ages, and everyone is welcome.
Christopher Scott Brumfield is an artist, art teacher at Baton Rouge Community College, and writer from South Louisiana. His favorite artistic medium is clay, but he works in whatever material he feels at the time. His work includes large-scale outdoor installations, rooftop installations of ceramic cities, gallery shows, ongoing photo projects around the world, and ephemeral work based in nature. Since finishing graduate school in 2001, Brumfield has had 15 solo shows and many hundreds of group shows. He currently divides his time between Blue Hill, Maine and Baton Rouge, Louisiana and shares his life with his husband, three dogs, two cats, and many house plants.
This program is free and open to all and will be held in the library's Howard Room. For more information, please contact the library at 374-5515, or email Assistant Director Kayleigh Thomas at kayleigh.thomas[at]bhpl.net. For more information on Peninsula Pride, please visit www.peninsulapride.me/.
