Virtual Visits is a digital series where Frye staff check in on members of our creative community in their home and work spaces during social distancing and beyond.
Join Negarra Kudumu, Manager of Public Programs at the Frye Art Museum, for a Virtual Visit with Kemi Adeyemi.
Kemi Adeyemi is Assistant Professor of Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies and Director of The Black Embodiments Studio at the University of Washington. Her writing and curatorial projects use performance as a site and methodology for theorizing the contours of contemporary black queer life. Her book, Feels Right: Black Queer Women’s Geographies of Neoliberalism, is under review and her co-edited volume, Queer Nightlife, is in press. Recent writing has appeared in GLQ, Women & Performance, the Routledge Handbook of African American Art History, Transgender Studies Quarterly, Gulf Coast: A Journal of Literature and Fine Arts, and QED: A Journal of GLBTQ Worldmaking. Kemi currently serves as dramaturge for Will Rawls’ new project [SICCER] and has written on and for artists including Tschabalala Self, Jovencio de la Paz, Indira Allegra, Brendan Fernandes, and taisha paggett.
