Lecture | Race, Religion and Presidents: What Can Zilpha Elaw’s Memoirs Teach Us About Charlottesville, Trump, and American Evangelicalism?
The perplexing relationship between Trump and the religious right was never more polarizing than after the protests and murder in Virginia in August 2017. Kimberly Blockett (Associate Professor of English and Division Coordinator of Liberal Arts, Penn State Brandywine) has written on the Black woman evangelist Zilpha Elaw (c. 1793-1873) who preached extensively from Maine to Virginia. Blockett examines the trans-historical intersections of race, religion, and politics, highlighting how Christian revivalism fundamentally changed American culture. At the core of those cultural shifts, the one debate that threatened every sect and denomination was race.

Author Reading | Photographer Thomas Werner discusses his book The Fashion Image
Great fashion photography reflects and shapes the era in which it is made, from wartime to economic booms, fashion design and the imagery that defines it have shown us where our boundaries lie and how we seek to embrace or break them. A fashion photograph is about lifestyle, desire, fantasy, sensuality, and, unavoidably, the state of commerce. It is about wanting to be the person inside the clothes, or wanting to have one’s life shown within the image. It is also about identity, subculture, and the desire to belong. If you are a student, aspiring photographer, or working professional, building a fashion portfolio that aspires to this standard can be daunting. Thomas Werner, author of the book The Fashion Image, will share his insight into each of these aspects of fashion and the ways in which you can create innovative shoot concepts to help you achieve your goals.

Opening Reception | Cryptid: Sculptures by Sam Stewart
Stewart’s work, which traffics in the vocabulary of high-production furniture design, conveys twisted narratives through the act of obsessive world-making. Exploring the perverse desires and sincere emotions that we project onto the things we own, his sculptures subvert the intended use of the items they resemble, and instead operate as symbolic totems. They are hybrids—simultaneously personal and anonymous, excessively bespoke and eerily ubiquitous.
