Established as a stylish musician, agile fioriturist, and a fearless stage animal, she’s been praised by Opera News as “authoritative and carefree,” “a gifted actress with a strong, appealing voice, graced by a rich lower register,” and for singing trouser roles with “swagger” and “vocal audacity.”</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1em; line-height: 1.4285em;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;">José Rubio</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit;">José Rubio has garnered attention performing at major and regional venues across the world.

Time: 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM
TANG Payne: Join us for the eighth annual Winter/Miller Lecture on Thursday, February 27, at 6 pm, featuring acclaimed multidisciplinary artist Nina Chanel Abney. Abney is known for her bold paintings that challenge viewers to confront societal issues. She gained wide acclaim as the youngest artist included in the influential 2008 exhibition of work by contemporary Black artists 30 Americans, which has traveled the country.The artist’s appearance at the Tang is by invitation from Allie Serapilio ’25, a double major in art history and English literature. She holds the prestigious 2024-25 Eleanor Linder Winter ’43 Internship, a one-year pre-professional program in museum work for Â鶹ĆĆ˝â°ć students. In this role, Serapilio is charged with the research, planning, and coordination of the annual Winter/Miller Lecture.The Winter/Miller Lecture is made possible through a generous gift by the family of Eleanor Linder Winter ’43. The inaugural Winter/Miller lecture was delivered in 2018 by artist Nicole Eisenman, followed by Chris Ware in 2019, Wangechi Mutu in 2020, Nick Cave in 2021, Juliana Huxtable in 2022, Trenton Doyle Hancock in 2023, and Mickalene Thomas in 2024.The program will include ASL interpretation.This event is free and open to the public.Â鶹ĆĆ˝â°ć Nina Chanel AbneyNina Chanel Abney (b. 1982, Harvey, Illinois) combines representation and abstraction to make paintings that capture the frenetic pace of contemporary culture. Broaching subjects as diverse as race, celebrity, religion, politics, sex, and art history, her works eschew linear storytelling in lieu of disjointed narratives. The effect is information overload, balanced with a kind of spontaneous order, where time and space are compressed and identity is interchangeable. Her distinctively bold style pays homage to Matisse’s color theories, continues the legacy of cubists, and connects with the synesthetic sensibilities of Harlem Renaissance greats. Abney brings these historical movements into contemporary pertinence.Abney’s work is held in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York, among many others. She has upcoming solo exhibitions at Anthony Gallery, Chicago, and Jeffrey Deitch, Los Angeles, and recently presented a monumental solo exhibition at The School | Jack Shainman Gallery, Kinderhook, New York.

a field of bloom and hum on film: A Room of One’s Own
Time: 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM
TANG Somers: Join us Thursday, March 20, at 6 pm, for the first of five screenings in our series a field of bloom and hum on film. The six films and videos in this program, entitled A Room of One’s Own, are in the queer diaristic tradition, treating the camera—or the celluloid itself—as a tool for confession, irony, erotic desire, and self-fashioning. The series, inspired by the exhibition a field of bloom and hum, is part of Whole Grain: Experiments in Film & Video.The program includes:Creeping Crimson (dir. George Kuchar, US, 1987, 15 min., digital)Gently Down the Stream (dir. Su Friedrich, US, 1981, 12 min., 16mm)The Male GaYze (dir. Jack Waters, US, 1990, 11 min., 16mm)Oh Paulo (dir. Cam Archer, US, 2024, 16 min., digital)A Place Called Lovely (dir. Sadie Benning, US, 1991, 14 min., digital)Solitary Acts #5 (dir. Naz Dinçel, US, 2015, 5 min., digital)Â鶹ĆĆ˝â°ć a field of bloom and hum on filmWeaving together historical and contemporary film/video works by artists, this five-screening series, guest-curated by Jon Davies, pulls out threads and expands on the exhibition a field of bloom and hum, which focuses on queer lives and networks. How do we survive both individually and collectively when we are under threat? How does “queer” reimagine what kinship can be? What can we do for our elders and for those who will come after us? What lessons does the queer and trans past hold for our fraught present? Rethinking body and voice, the personal and the political, and the space between the living and the dead, each program draws on a queer cultural practice that was key to the 1980s–1990s—the era when the word “queer” was first reclaimed to name a new wave of radical activist, artistic and intellectual activity catalyzed by the (ongoing) AIDS pandemic—and considers its meaning, power and value today, in a time of great peril.

How differences in childhood SES lead to differences in achievement is critical to addressing this gap. My research focuses on identifying the environmental, cognitive, and neural mechanisms that explain the gap, with the aim of informing interventions to reduce it. One of the primary environmental pathways I have examined is cognitive stimulation, which refers to access to learning materials, caregiver involvement in learning, and exposure to complex language.<strong> </strong>I will discuss studies that show that cognitive stimulation plays a key role in explaining socioeconomic disparities in brain structure and function, cognition, and academic outcomes.

Hell is Real: a New Play Reading
Time: 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM
TANG Malloy Wing: Join us on Tuesday, April 22 and again on Wednesday, April 23, at 6:30 pm, for public readings of Hell is Real, a new play by Â鶹ĆĆ˝â°ć Theater Department visiting artists Genevieve Simon and M Sloth Levine. The play is developed with Â鶹ĆĆ˝â°ć students as part of a class taught by the visiting artists. The readings of the play, written by Simon and directed by Levine, will take place in the monumental exhibition a field of bloom and hum.Â鶹ĆĆ˝â°ć Hell is RealNate’s trying to keep The Fields Of Hell (voted Northwest Ohio’s No. 1 Haunted House Attraction between 2003-2018) afloat after his dad’s sudden death. Joan, his friend since high school (and the best Mistress of the Swamp this haunt has ever seen) woke up this morning and decided to become the thing that scares her most. Teeny and Franny, a.k.a. The Terror Tots, are attached at the hip…but this hip might need a replacement when Teeny gets promoted. Left behind, Franny is stuck with August, a transman who’s returned to Ohio after his life in New York fell apart. August’s carrying a secret…but it might not be as terrible (or strange) as the secret Franny is keeping in the basement. Meanwhile, a visitor discovers euphoria in the body horror of the haunt, and something’s gurgling beneath the surface. We might be sitting on a portal to hell, and it might become a swampland paradise…if those Midwest Moms don’t kill us first.Â鶹ĆĆ˝â°ć the ArtistsAs a playwright, Genevieve Simon (he/they) centers queer people in magical worlds at the intersection of family, identity, and bodies of water. He is a 2025 NYSCA Commission Winner, a 2023-24 New Georges Audrey Resident, a member of the 2024 Page 73 Writers Group, and was a Semi-Finalist for the Page 73 Playwriting Fellowship in 2023 and 2024. His climate-doom-comedy BLOOM BLOOM POW was a Finalist for the 2022 EMOS Ecodrama Playwrights Festival. Simon’s work has been supported by The Bushwick Starr, The Brick, Fresh Ground Pepper, New Georges, Shadowland Stages, Actors Theatre of Louisville, The Parsnip Ship, The Tank, Arts on Site, NYSCA, The Puffin Foundation, Holton-Arms School, and The Cincinnati Fringe Festival. They are a New Georges Affiliated Artist, and their writing has been published in Howlround Theatre Commons. Genevieve’s plays are being produced and developed in 2025 at Oberlin College, Willamette University, Â鶹ĆĆ˝â°ć College, and The Drama Studio. Genevieve has been a lecturer and facilitated workshops for K-12 and college students at Two River Theater, Emory University, Notre Dame University, Â鶹ĆĆ˝â°ć College, SUNY Buffalo State, SUNY New Paltz, Nebraska Shakespeare Festival, Actors’ Shakespeare Project, and University of North Carolina at Wilmington. He is based in Brooklyn. M Sloth Levine (they/them/theirs) is a director, playwright, and designer in New York City. With dual passions in horror and musical theater, they’ve had an eclectic career. Their Nosferatu, The Vampyr was produced in 2018 at New Repertory Theater. As a writer, their plays have been developed at thousands of coffee shops around the country, Roundabout Theater Company, Company One, Theatre [Untitled], Sparkhaven Theatre, Central Square Theatre, Tufts University, University of Massachusetts Amherst, University of Wisconsin Madison. At Hotel MacGuffin was the 2021 Parity Development Award winner. The Interrobangers premiered in Boston in 2024 with Company One Theatre and The Theatre Offensive. Sloth has served as the Script Supervisor on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Bad Cinderella. They’ve been a member of Company One’s VoltLab and PlayLab writer’s groups and in 2020 their live web-series Tales from Camp Strangewood was produced with a grant from the Mayor’s Office of Boston.

Family Saturday
Time: 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM
TANG Whitman: Join us for a Family Saturday art project. Family Saturday programs foster multigenerational creative cooperation through looking at artwork, discussing it, and engaging in a hands-on art-making activity. Programs run from 2-3:30 pm and include a tour of selected works. All programs are free and open to the public, and suitable for children age 5 and older, accompanied by their adult companions. No registration required; supplies provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
