Event description: 
“Game Recognize Game,” a new event at the School of Art’s 32 Edgewood Gallery, will assemble athletes and artists of color to discuss issues surrounding the politics of representation. Addressing practices that span disciplines, such as “performative resistance” and political activism, the event focuses on the modes various practitioners employ in their engagement with dominant social or cultural norms. The event, organized by Tomashi Jackson ART ’16, will be hosted on Sunday, Feb. 28 in tandem with the “Black Pulp!” exhibition at the 32 Edgewood Gallery.
Participants include Emory Douglas, the former minister of culture for the Black Panther Party, and John Wesley Carlos, the Olympian bronze medalist for track and field who, with gold medalist Tommie Smith, raised his black-gloved fist in a salute to Black power, during the 1968 Olympic awards ceremony.
