THE WEDGE LECTURE: TYLER MITCHELL AND LIZ IKIRIKO
Join us for the 3rd Annual Wedge Lecture!
Thursday, June 18
7:00 pm

Across Black life, play has been a tool for testing freedom and expanding beyond what has been given. What becomes possible when play is understood as a way of imagining otherwise?
Presented by Luminato Festival and Wedge Curatorial Projects, The Wedge Lecture brings together artists and thinkers whose work is shaping contemporary culture and critical discourse. In its third season, we welcome artist, photographer, and filmmaker Tyler Mitchell and artist-curator Liz Ikiriko to discuss visual culture and the transformative power of play.
Mitchell and Ikiriko will engage in a wide-ranging conversation on the histories, strategies, and processes that inform their work through the lens of Play, Luminato Festival’s 2026 theme. Audience Q&A to follow.
