Black Futures: On Race in Art, Curation, and Digital Engagement
with Kimberly Drew in conversation with Stephen Best

Kimberly Drew, Social Media Manager for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Creator of the blog Black Contemporary Art

Drew has been dubbed an "international tastemaker in contemporary art" on account of her Tumblr blog Black Contemporary Art and her Instagram @museummammy; and as Social Media Manager at The Met, she has been pivotal in moving that venerated institution in directions both democratic and dialogical. Drew will discuss curation, social media, race, and institutions with Professor Stephen Best (English, UC-Berkeley).

Participating Units: Arts Research Center; Department of English; The Black Room; Townsend Center for the Humanities
