Public Dialogue: Carnivalesque
Georgetown Professor Toni-Lee Sangastiano’s artwork makes visible the people and spaces of the carnival, celebrating them in all of their wonder, glitter, grit, genius, and eccentricity. Join in on her conversation with panelists:
- Sarah Houbolt, a Paralympian, diversity advocate, arts manager, and freak show, international circus, and physical theatre performer
- Johnathan Lee Iverson, the youngest and first Black American Ringmaster of the iconic Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, which he served until its closing in 2017
This public program is held in conjunction with the exhibition Toni-Lee Sangastiano: Carnivalesque, on view in the Spagnuolo Gallery through May 23, 2022.
