Symposium

Cowboy Carter: Reimagining the American West

Thursday, November 12, 9:00 am–6:00 pm
CU Art Museum

Inspired by Beyoncé's groundbreaking album, this symposium brings together keynote speakers, scholars, and fashion professionals discussing how the themes, topics, visions, and sounds of the album have emboldened new ideas and directions for the study of the American West. The event will close with a fashion show featuring CU students wearing garments and accessories by regional designers and local vendors. 
 
This event is free and all are welcome. 
 
Cowboy Carter: Reimagining the American West is generously supported by the Division of Arts & Humanities, the Center for Humanities & the Arts, the Center for the American West, and Queer and Trans studies.
