Instructor: Famous Clark

Famous Clark is a current MFA student at the University at Buffalo’s Media Study program. His specific field of study is an interweaving of mythology and folklore, queer and feminist scholarship, and interactivity and portrayal within games. Famous’s research and projects to date aim to develop queer allegories of being, utilizing tropes of fantastical narratives in folklore and fairytales. These allegories, in turn, are injected into game mediums, facilitating the embodiment, interactivity, and portrayal of non-heteronormative realities.
