The symposium will bring international scholars together with artists and musicians, including a labyrinthian installation from Tanya Stark. The program features keynote speeches from Dr. Will Booker of Kingston University, founder of The Go-Betweens Robert Forster, and assistant curator of the David Bowie Is exhibition, Dr. Kathryn Johnson. Talks will range from Bowie’s lyrical techniques to his ground breaking transgressions of sexuality, class and race.
