Kip Fulbeck Visits Campus

Renowned speaker Kip Fulbeck visited Santa Catalina on May 20, 2009. Invited by Upper School art teacher Dana Hart-Stone, the award-winning artist, slam poet, filmmaker, and author led art students in a workshop where preconceived concepts of identity were explored.

Upper School students were then treated to a performance in the PAC where Kip blended stand-up comedy, political activism, and personal stories into a spirited exploration of identity, racial heritage, and our commonalities. Afterwards, he signed copies of his books and a lucky few even received an impromtu animal drawing.

A Professor and Chair of Art and an affiliate faculty of Asian American Studies and Film Studies at UC Santa Barbara, Kip has performed and exhibited in over 20 countries including the Museum of Modern Art, the Singapore International Film Festival, and the Whitney Museum of American Art Biennial.
