Barnes Tuesday on the Terrace: Kathryn Ott Lovell and Sherman Fleming

Join us for an unconventional conversation about creativity, gender, and race, where we bring together intriguing speakers and you bring the questions! Tonight’s discussion features Philadelphia Parks & Recreation commissioner Kathryn Ott Lovell in dialogue with performance artist Sherman Fleming.
What would you ask the woman in charge of Philly’s parks? What might you learn from a performance artist with a long and provocative career? These guests (full bios below) will answer 20 audience-submitted questions, improvising and analyzing along the way and sharing their unique perspectives. In the spirit of playfulness mixed with critical discourse, Philly poet and singer M’Balia Singley will close the night with an original composition recapping the discussion.

This Q&A will be held on our terrace, one of the largest covered outdoor spaces in Philadelphia—so it’s rain or shine.
