Interpreting MoMA: Jack Whitten

Please join us for MoMA’s bimonthly program welcoming individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing to participate in an ASL–interpreted private gallery talk focusing on one of MoMA’s exhibitions, along with a wine and snack reception.

In March, we will explore the exhibition Jack Whitten: The Messenger with members of the curatorial team. Spanning nearly six decades, this exhibition is the first full retrospective of Whitten’s innovative practice, featuring more than 175 paintings, sculptures, and works on paper that illuminate his singular vision. Featuring numerous works that have never before been shown, the exhibition presents the artist’s revelatory exploration of culture, race, technology, jazz, love, and war.

Registration opens on February 26, 2025, at 10:00 a.m.

Interpreting MoMA is offered free of charge. Space is limited and advance registration is required.

For more information or to register, please email [email protected] or call Access Programs at (212) 408-6447.
