In conjunction with Across the Universe, join TUAG in collaboration with the Department of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies for an interactive screening and conversation with exhibiting artist Tomashi Jackson, Associate Professor Kareem Khubchandani (LaWhore Vagistan), and two special guests — multidisciplinary performer and director of opera and theater Alexander Gedeon from the LA Philharmonic and Rebecca Uchill, Professor of the Practice and Director of the Center for Art, Design, and Visual Culture (CADVC), a research center and art gallery at the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at UMBC. Featuring One Night Only with Tommy Tonight, a rare live performance of Jackson as Tommy Tonight lip-syncing the Doobie Brothers with a soundtrack directed by Gedeon, the event will discuss the ways drag and kinship are linked, through intergenerational support, grief, and memory, and the how participants’ artistic practices allow them to mourn and process loss.  

This program is supported by the Tufts AS&E Diversity Fund.
