Inspired by the visual representations found in early African-American cinema and music, "With a Cast of Colored Stars" highlights the evolution of racialized iconography in Black American popular entertainment. This lecture will highlight music sheet covers, theater advertisements, film posters and vinyl record covers that span from 1836–1979. The intersection of historical print media alongside designer responses will give space to reflect on the legacy of language, illustration, photography and print techniques used to shape mainstream conceptions of Blackness in America.

Bio: Kelly Walters is a designer, educator and founder of the multidisciplinary design studio Bright Polka Dot. In her ongoing design research, she interrogates the complexities of identity formation, systems of value, and shared vernacular in and around Black visual culture. She is the author of Black, Brown + Latinx Design Educators: Conversations on Design and Race (Princeton Architectural Press, 2021) and the co-editor and creative director of The Black Experience in Design (Allworth Press/School of Visual Arts, 2022). In 2021, she was a recipient of a Graham Foundation Exhibition award in support of her curated exhibition "With a Cast of Colored Stars." Kelly is currently an assistant professor and associate director of the BFA Communication Design Program in Parsons School of Design at The New School.
