August 27, 2024 - P. Carl, Miranda July, and Lorraine O'Grady

Today on The Culture Show,  P Carl.  He built  a life as a queer woman. But all the while he had a yearning to become more fully realized. For him that meant transitioning to another gender. He wrote about  it in his 2020 memoir, “Becoming a Man,” which he adapted for the stage in a play that made its world premier at the American Repertory Theater. From there it’s multi-media, artist  Miranda July on her  new novel,  a coming-of-middle-age story about a woman who is either experiencing a turning point or is turning her world upside down.Finally, artist Lorraine O’Grady’s slow burn of a career. At nearly 90- years-old she is having a moment–from receiving a Guggenheim fellowship to having her first ever museum retrospective at the Davis Museum.
