January 24, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Free
Please join us for The Museum of Modern Art’s bimonthly program for individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing. Each program includes a sign language–interpreted private gallery talk focusing on one of MoMA’s special exhibitions, along with a wine and cheese reception.
In January, we will explore the exhibition Just Above Midtown: Changing Spaces. Just Above Midtown—or JAM—was an art gallery and Black space that welcomed artists and visitors of many generations and races in New York City from 1974 until 1986. Together we will discuss the artists and artworks shown at JAM and contextualize the experimental ethos that defined the gallery with the curatorial team from the Department of Media and Performance
5:00 p.m. – Check-in at the Lauder Building staff and film entrance at 11 W 53 Street, east of the main lobby under the curved silver awning, with wine and cheese reception in the Hess Lounge.
6:00 p.m. – Tour and gallery conversation with the curatorial team from the Department of Media and Performance.
