Designer/Author Couple in Creative Life Series Nov. 2

ALBANY — Designer Debbie Millman and author Roxane Gay will visit the University at Albany for a conversation with WAMC’s Joe Donahue as part of The Creative Life: A Conversation Series. The event, free and open to the public, will be held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 2, at the UAlbany Performing Arts Center on the University at Albany’s Uptown Campus at 1400 Washington Ave. Both guests will participate in a book signing in the theatre lounge after the event.

 A UAlbany alum, Debbie Millman is also an author, educator, curator and host of the podcast Design Matters, one of the world’s first and longest running podcasts. She has written six books and has two books of illustrated essays. 

Roxane Gay is one of the great public intellectuals in America today. Her books include the modern-day classics, Bad Feminist: Essays (2014), which Time magazine called, “a manual on how to be human,” and Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body (2017), a “work of staggering honesty” (New Republic) that explores her relationship with food, weight, and body image.
