Rivers Solomon is a writer and lecturer. Their home is in the realm of the imaginary, where Blackness, queerness, and disability become sites of insurgency. In addition to appearing on the Stonewall Honor List and winning a Firecracker Award, Solomon’s debut novel, An Unkindness of Ghosts, was a finalist for a Lambda, a Hurston/Wright, and a Locus Award, among others. Solomon’s second book, a novella, The Deep, was the winner of the 2020 Lambda Award and was on the shortlist for a Nebula, Locus, World Fantasy, and Hugo Award. Solomon's third novel, Sorrowland, the story of a young woman's godlike metamorphosis, won the Stonewall an Otherwise Award and was shortlisted for an Ignyte Award, and Model Home, Solomon's latest novel, has recently released to critical acclaim. Solomon also writes essays, poems, and short stories, which can be found in such places as the New York Times, Guernica, Black Warrior Review, and elsewhere. Born on Turtle Island, they currently live in London.Support for this event is provided by the Parshley Christ Endowment for Living Writers.

This exhibition expands on the forthcoming issue of the artist-run journal Effects, organized around the motif of the hole. Holes draw our attention to the periphery, the edges of the visible, bringing to the fore what typically disappears into the margin. Through rips and shadows, enclosures and erasures, the included artworks address transience, destructive violence, and lost histories, while also evoking the nascent formation of as-yet-unknown patterns for meeting the problems of living — with ourselves, with one another, and with absence.Featuring work by Noel Anderson, Milano Chow, Mary Helena Clark, Clementine Keith-Roach, Lakshmi Luthra, Eric N. Mack, Nour Mobarak & Jeffrey Stuker, Christopher Page, Paul Pfeiffer, Adam Putnam, Larissa Sansour & Søren Lind, Paul Sietsema, and Patricia Treib.Opening reception Wednesday, September 24, following the 4:30pm Art Lecture.Curated by Lakshmi Luthra, Associate Professor of Art and Film & Media StudiesMore information at https://www.cliffordgallery.org/holes/*Please note: Weekend hours are dependent on the availability of student monitors.
