All On the Court Playbook Roundtable Talk: Gender Identity and Inclusion Virtual Event
Thursday, July 28
6:30 pm EST
Through multimedia, All on the Court: An Installation by Chrystal Seawood  invites us to consider the intersection of Black masculine identities and spaces of emotional release. In an era in which notions of gender are expanding and challenges are being contested, Seawood invites us to consider what variations of masculinity exist beyond the gender binary. Join the Lewis Museum in conversation on gender identity and inclusion involving media and the sports world. This roundtable discussion will include the following guest panelists:
