    Design Lecture: Anina Major

    Civic Square Building 33 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ, United States

    Anina Major (she/her) is a visual artist from the Bahamas. Her decision to establish a home contrary to the location in which she was born and raised motivates her to investigate the relationship between self and place as a site of negotiation.

    Civic Square Building 33 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ, United States

    Alvaro Dominguez is an emotion, a feeling, a movement, your friend and your enemy's friend, your sister's husband, that person who can't eat anything remotely spicy, and the culprit of the extinction of the dinosaurs. He's the co-founder of the band Scared of Bunnies, with seven albums on Spotify! Seven! And zero Grammys. He is a contributing art director at The New York Times, holds a Red Cross first aid certificate, and is a green belt in taekwondo. He did a Time Magazine cover, and his father reacted by saying, "So what? Nobody knows that magazine." He has honed his improv skills at Magnet Theater, UCB, and Brooklyn Comedy Collective. Plus, he's read more than seventeen books in his lifetime.
