THE LIFE AND ART OF YAYOI KUSAMA
Thursday, February 28th
7:00 at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema [FREE - Reserve your seats now] 

KUSAMA: INFINITY producer Karen Johnson will be at the Lubbock screening to discuss the film. This showing at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is in partnership with Texas Tech's International Film Series and TTU School of Art.

Now the top-selling female artist in the world, Yayoi Kusama overcame impossible odds to bring her radical artistic vision to the world stage.

For decades, her work pushed boundaries that often alienated her from both her peers and those in power in the art world. Kusama was an underdog with everything stacked against her: the trauma of growing up in Japan during World War II, life in a dysfunctional family that discouraged her creative ambitions, sexism and racism in the art establishment, mental illness in a culture where that was particularly shameful and even continuing to pursue and be devoted to her art full time on the cusp of her 90s.
