Interpreting MoMA: Woven Histories

May 15 @ 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Free, registration required

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 May we will explore the exhibition Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction with members of the curatorial team. Textiles touch every aspect of our lives and connect us to history. This exhibition brings together more than 150 diverse, interdisciplinary objects. Highlighting issues of labor and identity that are intertwined with modern textile production, Woven Histories argues that weaving and textiles are the quintessential link between lived experience and art.

Registration opens on April 17, 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.
