photographer iO Tillet Wright
on Monday, March 3, 2013 in Argyros Forum 209C at 6 p.m. as part of the Visual Arts Thinkers Series.
iO Tillet Wright was a child actor who turned her shoes around in the bathroom stall so that people would think she was a boy. Her life in the grey areas of gender and sexuality deeply inform her work as an artist.
IO’s photography can be seen regularly in two features in The New York Times: Notes from the Underground and the Lowdown. She is also a creator of Self Evident Truths-an ongoing project to document the wide variety of experiences in LGBTQ America. So far, she has photographed about 2,000 people for the project. Her goal: 10,000 portraits and a nationwide rethinking of discriminatory laws.
This event is free and open to the public. For more information about this event, please call (714) 997-6729.
