Troy Montes-Michie

[2] Michie participated in the Tuesday Night MFA Lecture Series at BU School of Visual Arts.

[3] On December 3, 2017, Michie held his first solo exhibition Fat Cat Came To Play through Company Gallery, which lasted until January 21, 2018.

[5] Unlike his earlier works, which dealt with sex, Fat Cat Came To Play focused on exploring “blackness, queerness, and sexuality within an assemblage” by expressing socio-economic traits on to the Zoot Suit.

[4] A notable piece of the exhibition was “Disruptive Patterns”, which aimed to remind people that police officers were among the attackers in the Zoot Suit Riots.

[4] The exhibition stayed true to Michie's philosophy of representing the cultural expressions, specifically through fashion, of “historically marginalized American male figures”.
