Nsenga Knight: Last Rite
Performance: Sunday, February 27, 9:30 a.m.
Reception: 10:30am – 12noon
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
In Last Rite, a performance and print-based work, Nsenga Knight reimagines historical events and presents a series of prints connecting Malcolm X’s transformative final ritual– his 1964 pilgrimage to Mecca, to his assassination and funeral rites in 1965. Last Rite re-sketches the final events and rituals in Malcom X's life, and commemorates the days in which they occurred. The Last Rite performance at the Brandywine Workshop addresses the audience as witness, catalyst and participant - blurring the lines between spectator space and performance, while prompting questions about communal and ethical responsibility. This performance score is the first in the Last Rite project and commemorates the funeral of Malcolm X forty six years ago on this date and time.
The performance will begin at 9:30 AM on Sunday, February 27, 2011 in the Glass Lobby Gallery at Brandywine Workshop, 728 South Broad Street (Avenue of the Arts). Ample free parking is available on the street and at MAB Paints’ parking lot next door.
This event is free and open to the public.
Knight earned a Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Pennsylvania and an undergraduate degree in Film Production at Howard University. She is currently an artist in Residence at The Brandywine Workshop. Last Rite is generously supported by a Leeway Foundation Art and Change Grant.

Micah Danges in group exhibition at Fleisher Ollman Gallery
Fleisher/Ollman is pleased to present the exhibition, Off Camera, a survey of photographic works which have been drawn on or painted, animated, collaged or made into sculpture. Off Camera features a wide-range of work made by artists who set aside photography's conventions, cast off the limits of the medium and rely on invention when a straight representation of the physical world fails to meet their needs or expectations.
Please join us for the opening reception on Thursday, January 20 from 6-8pm.
