Students in Dr. Elizabeth Bookser Barkley’s African-American Writers class engage with the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»’s Artist-in-residence, Michael Thompson, an artist and poet who created the show "The Kool-Aid Wino."
Students in the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»’s African-American Writers class recently had an opportunity to view the current exhibit in the University’s art gallery. “The Kool-Aid Wino” show was created by artist and poet Michael Thompson, artist-in-residence.
After a brief introduction by Thompson, students browsed Studio San Giuseppe to engage with the art works, many of which included words in addition to art. What followed was a lively conversation with the artist about visual and written representations.
Thompson also shared some of his poetry with the class.
Studio San Giuseppe Art Gallery at Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» is honored to present “The Kool-Aid Wino” (January 16-February 19, 2024) Michael Thompson Solo Show.
