Gauss Seminars in Criticism - Denise Ferreira da Silva
The Humanities Council's Spring 2024 Gauss Seminars in Criticism will be presented by scholar, artist, and author Denise Ferreira da Silva (New York University). Her two-day visit will include a public lecture on Wednesday, March 6 and a lunch seminar on Thursday, March 7, under the general title “On Sensibility.”
Ferreira da Silva is the Samuel Rudin Professor in the Humanities, Department of Spanish and Portuguese, and co-director of the Critical Racial & Anti Colonial Study Co-Lab at New York University. She writes on crucial global issues, which she approaches from an anti-colonial black feminist perspective.
In this talk, Ferreira da Silva will reflect on artwork from Simone Leigh, Zinzi Minott, and Iagor Peres, and examine their questioning of the aesthetic field and how they confront the colonial, racial, and cisheteropatriarchal matrix. Open to the public.
