Beverly McIver

Ep. 217 Beverly McIver (b. 1962) is a Professor of Art, Art History, and Visual Studies at Duke University, a role she assumed after 12 years of teaching at Arizona State University. Recently, McIver was elected to the 2024 class of the National Academy of Design. In 2017, she was honored with the lifetime achievement award from the Anyone Can Fly Foundation in a ceremony hosted by her mentor, Faith Ringgold. McIver is also the subject in HBO’s Raising Renee—a feature-length documentary film that tells the story of McIver’s promise to care for Renee, her developmentally disabled older sister. In 2022, the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art organized a traveling museum survey of McIver’s work, titled Full Circle, which traveled to the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and the Gibbes Museum, Charleston, South Carolina. Beverly McIver’s solo exhibition, Entangled, opens at Berry Campbell Gallery on Thursday, October 17, 2024 and runs through November 16, 2024. The exhibition coincides with McIver’s involvement in People for the American Way’s Artists for Democracy project to promote voter mobilization through art in advance of the 2024 presidential election.
