Note:
The Altered Barbie exhibit runs through Sunday, August 17, at the same venue.
One of the 20th century's most recognizable, beloved, and debated icons (and her genital-less beau) gets made over by more than 40 local artists at this perennially popular yearly exhibit celebrating creative reuse. Tonight's carnival features several Barbie-inspired short films, a butoh-based performance by Bad Unkl Sista (as Homeless Barbie), DJs, live music, and even a Barbie poetry slam. Attendees are also encouraged to come in Barbie and Ken drag, so take a note from Kay Thompson's snappy fashion editor in Funny Face and "think pink!"
