Santa Barbara-based artist, Kip Fulbeck performs Race, Sex, & Tattoos: The Kip Fulbeck Experience, at CAF, exploring themes of diversity and America’s mixed-race identities!
Filmmaker and artist, Kip Fulbeck, traveled throughout the United States to photograph its diverse populace and asked each subject to hand-write a response to the question “What are you?” At CAF, he will present a multimedia performance that weaves together these collected stories and images with spoken word, film, photography, and pop culture to explore multiracial identity, tattoo culture, and contemporary America. There will be a book signing following the performance.
Santa Barbara-based, Kip Fulbeck received a B.A. and an M.F.A., University of California San Diego, San Diego, CA and is an Associate Professor in Art Studio and Asian American Studies at the University of California Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA. He has published numerous books including Part Asian, 100% Hapa; Permanence: Tattoo Portraits; and Mixed: Portraits of Multiracial Kids as well as directed a dozen short films. He has been featured on CNN, MTV, and PBS and has performed at hundreds of venues throughout the world.
