In Kip Fulbeck’s Honor, “Who We Are: Phillips Academy 2008”

Kip Fulbeck wants to know who we are. Fulbeck, an exceptional artist, filmmaker, slam poet, author and photographer, is coming to PA. According to his website, he has been featured on CNN, MTV and PBS, and he has performed and exhibited in over 20 countries. He travels worldwide discussing the issues of identity, multiculturalism and pop culture — mixing together spoken word, stand-up comedy, political activism and personal stories to standing ovations. His exhibit “Who Are You?,” on display in Gelb gallery for the next two weeks, is composed of portraits of people of mixed heritage who wrote captions answering the question “Who Are You?” to accompany their portraits. In his honor, the art department will be setting up camera satellites around campus (at the library, Uncommons and CAMD) for an exhibit titled “Who Are We: Phillips Academy 2008” where students can take pictures of themselves and write down captions of their own. Come see him Wednesday Sept. 24: All-School Meeting Open invitation to students to lunch in CAMD following ASM Kemper Presentation and Book-signing: 7 p.m. “What Are You?” exhibit: Gelb Gallery
