Eric Rey, current Entrepreneur-in-Residence, will conduct the interview, so join us for this enlightening talk!

Isaac Bloodworth is a New Haven native and Black Artist. He is a graduate from the University of Connecticut's Puppet Arts Program. Bloodworth’s works centers around his blackness and the experiences of the black community in America. He envisions a world in which his original characters not only survive, but thrive.

An experienced muralist, Bloodworth collaborated with Citywide Youth Coalition to paint a permanent installation at their Black and Brown Power Center on Chapel Street. His latest mural was installed by The City of New Haven's Department of Arts Culture and The Town Green Special; Services District at City Hall. One of his favored methods of storytelling is through puppetry, using a style called “Crankie.” He has performed his puppet works for the Lineage Group at Art Space and at City-Wide Open Studios. Through his murals and puppet performances, he hopes to inspire youth in the black community to see themselves in a positive light and help them understand their lived experiences. 

Bloodworth is on staff at the Yale Center for British Arts. He is also a member of A Broken Umbrella Theater.
