Benedito Ferrão, assistant professor of English & Asian and Pacific Islander American Studies. Entitled “The Uninvited,” it features works by Goan artist Angela Ferrão (no relation) that are the result of a collaboration that has produced, in addition to the exhibit, a printed and digital comic book. It’s the culmination of more than a year’s worth of work, mostly long distance, driven by scholarship and creativity as well as passion.
