An evening with comedian, storyteller, and musician River L. Ramirez, who curated and activated a collection of objects from the Bard Graduate Center Study Collection in an original lecture performance. Following the lecture, Ramirez was in conversation with BGC PhD student Ellen Enderle.
River L. Ramirez (they/them) is an NYC-based artist originally from Miami, FL. Working in the mediums of comedy, film, TV, writing, visual art, and music, it’s easy to forget that they are just a little furby with a knife. River’s work explores magick, collective consciousness, and liberation through play. Their work has been written about in the New York Times, Forbes, Art in America, SSENSE, and GQ. They teach a class called How to Be in Front of People at the Brick Aux, and just released their new EP: GIVING. You can also find them in Julio Torres’s Fantasmas and Problemista out now.
