"While this piece of clothing has endured as a major tool of male conformity in industrial and modern times, in the post-modern era, this article of clothing now contributes much to my own individuality."

Wilmington, NC – A traditional icon of conventionality can now be a symbol of individuality.

Shane Fernando lives with his partner in historic downtown Wilmington and is curator of the Boseman Gallery at UNCW.

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.
