Kehinde Wiley and DJ Spooky Set for Multimedia Artist Talk Tonight at Brooklyn Museum

"Multimedia Artist Talk: Kehinde Wiley and DJ Spooky" is slated for the Brooklyn Museum tonight, April 16, 2015 at 7 p.m. Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Auditorium, 3rd Floor.

Among today's most innovative and successful painters, Kehinde Wiley is known throughout the world for his vivid portraits of African American men and women that use the conventions of traditional European portraiture. The portraits raise questions about race, gender, and the politics of representation.

Miller, aka DJ Spooky, and a Q&A session follow the talk. Food is available for purchase at The Counter café, and there will be a cash bar.
