Art Off Pause Livestream

I’m hosting the #ARTOFFPAUSE livestream to stay connected as we look ahead. Our arts institutions are “on pause” to stop the spread of COVID-19, but creativity is continuing. We'll check in daily with artists, curators, and scholars about their suspended or upcoming projects. We (maybe) can envision what the future might bring after this crisis.

Join us online weekdays 1 pm ET/10 am PT. Live on YouTube or register on Crowdcast for Q&A: https://www.crowdcast.io/colorcritics

Kale Roberts is an explosion of queer sportsing energy with a laundry list of identities that informs their practice as a performance artist and sculptor with a social practice. Blasting out of Tampa, FL, they activate SPACE in an art as life practice. One mouthful of the South, a dollop of blind fandom, and an abundance of misinformed history, they are dedicated to creating new rituals and objects imbued with humor and sincerity.
