📚 Lecture: “The Science of Queer Colors: Magenta, Mauve, and Puce”

🎤 Speaker: Prof. Julian Silverman


Join us for a vibrant evening with Prof. Julian Silverman as we delve into the world of colors that challenge our understanding of light, identity, and culture. This fascinating presentation will explore hues such as magenta, mauve, and puce—colors that not only defy conventional categories but also play a significant role in the social fabric.

Prof. Silverman invites you to discover the history and science behind these extraordinary colors, highlighting their significance in art, fashion, and identity. You'll gain insights into how the unnatural, the artificial, and the in-between can possess a vibrancy that transcends initial appearances.

As a chemistry professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology, Prof. Silverman focuses on the intersection of science, design, and sustainability. His research includes green chemistry, materials toxicology, and the everyday chemistry of cosmetics and art materials, ultimately connecting scientific inquiry with creative practice.

Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the colorful intersection of science and culture with the inspiring Prof. Julian Silverman!
