The Genius of Alonzo Wilson

Cameron Art Museum

Commentator Shane Fernando fell in love with the work of Alonzo Wilson long before the costume designer wowed audiences of  HBO’s hit series Tremé—but that doesn’t mean he’s beyond shock and awe. In fact, if you listen to today’s commentary closely, you can almost hear his jaw drop.

Well Suited, the Costumes of Alonzo Wilson, will be on exhibit at the Cameron Art Museum now through November 3rd.

Shane Fernando grew up in Wilmington, NC, being an avid WHQR listener during his childhood during the station's first years. He also served as WHQR's first intern. After graduation from UNCW in 2000, where he spearheaded the project and fundraising for the UNCW Millennium Clock Tower, he moved to Washington, DC to work in the U.S. Senate. In 2005, Shane returned to Wilmington, receiving his master's degree in Public Administration.
