Yinka Shonibare MBE (RA) joins Kobena Mercer, Professor, History of Art and African American Studies, for a conversation. This lecture coincides with a display of Shonibare’s works on view at the Yale Center for British Art, entitled Yinka Shonibare MBE (RA), and is made possible by the Andrew Carnduff Ritchie Fund, with additional support from the Museum of Arts and Design and the Smithsonian Institution.



The Andrew Carnduff Ritchie Lecture Series, which is jointly sponsored by the Center and the Gallery, bring distinguished members of the international visual arts community to the university. These lectures are free and open to the public, honoring Ritchie’s belief that the art museum serves as a gathering place for all members of the community.



This event will be live streamed. Doors to the Robert L. McNeil, Jr., Lecture Hall open at 4:30pm; seating is limited.
