ABINGTON, Pa. — Penn State Laureate Andrew Belser will explore issues of identity, gender, sexuality and ethnicity through the lens of aging during an exclusive visit to Penn State Abington.
Belser's presentation will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 3, in 112 Woodland Building at the Abington campus. Admission is free.
Belser is professor of movement, voice, and acting and director of the Arts & Design Research Incubator in the College of Arts and Architecture at Penn State. As the University laureate for the 2017-2018 academic year, he is touring the award-winning "FaceAge" exhibition — a multimedia video installation created from cross-generational conversations — throughout Pennsylvania, including community engagement, research, and curricular components intended to facilitate intergenerational connections.
