Kristin Powers Nowlin's work explores how American culture defines and determines race and the various ways that popular, scientific and academic cultures used to identify the race of a given individual. Her current work responds to print advertisements from the 1920s-1950s to create woodblock prints that challenge and expand on the original appropriated image. The ShockPress Visiting Artist Talk, "Carving Out Roots," will be held at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 23, at the Ulrich Museum. ShockPress Visiting Artist Talks are supported by the WSU Print Media department, WSU School of Art, Design and Creative Industries, and Tornado Alley Press.
