The Department of American Studies presents a public lecture by Christopher K. Morgan, who will share insights on the resilience of the arts field in challenging times, and his experiences making intersectional art in predominantly western contexts. Christopher brings 25 years of international experience and artistic acclaim to his leadership roles as Artistic & Executive Director of Christopher K. Morgan & Artists (CKM&A), as Director of the Dance Residency Program at Art Omi, and as the Executive Artistic Director of Dance Place in Washington D.C. His Native Hawaiian ancestry and a diverse, international modern dance career that moved him from where he grew up in Orange County, CA to San Diego, Munich, New York, London, Dublin, and now our nation’s capital influence his work as an administrator, choreographer, educator, facilitator, curator, and performer. His choreography has been presented in 18 countries on 5 continents and addresses identity, social, and cultural issues. Hosted by AMST 345 Indigenous Heritage: Issues of Representation and Ownership, sponsored by Maryland Traditions.
