Third Thursdays

This Third Thursday has been canceled. If you have any questions, please contact the Box Office at 617 278 5156.

No matter how the arts are presented, we each bring forth a lived experience, imagination and/or belief that shapes our own interpretation. In partnership with HipStory—a digital media production company responsible for creating unique, innovative, and inspiring art—discover how local artists use the arts in creative ways to convene and inspire us to challenge our ways of thinking.

The Nigerian-American creative Dubem, also known as Calvin Klein Caterpillar, uses audio and visuals to create spaces where he and his audiences can feel whole again. The Boston-based artist delves into a variety of mediums, including poetry, music, painting, and installation. In 2019, Dubem played an educator role acting as a teacher and mentor for students for the ICA’s Harbor Collective and Growing Edge. Dubem has also upheld his poetry roots from his high school days with Glitter, a series of open mics held at Lasell University. Dubem aims to unite people through showcasing vulnerability, truth, and a good laugh.

LORD FELIX | 7–7:30 PM

Calderwood Hall, Second Floor, New Wing

Take a listen to the underground, experiential sound from Boston's own, Lord Felix, who mystifies his audience with his concealed identity under a reflective visor. This is a performance you do not want to miss!

Living Room, First Floor, New Wing

Join Kofi Lost, a New York-born, Massachusetts-based, Ghanaian-American rapper, poet, and Afro-Futurist for a poetry and music set including tracks from his most recent music project, new spoken word poetry, and (self-reported) witty banter in between those pieces.

CLIFF NOTEZ | 8–8:30 PM

Calderwood Hall, Second Floor, New Building

Award-winning multi-digital media artist, musician, organizer, and filmmaker, Cliff Notez’s art is a continuous exploration of the Black mind. Rooted in hip-hop, his art tackles the political and the personal, exploring the intimate consequences of a society where Black bodies are easily ignored, forgotten, or disregarded. Cliff's second full-length album, Why The Wild Things Are, was released September 11, 2019.
