SUMMARY:Guggenheim Mind's Eye: Going Dark\, Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Join us in January for a second tour of the exhibition Going Dark: The Contemporary Figure at the Edge of Visibility. Prior attendance at the program is not necessary to enjoy this second exploration of the exhibition. \nThis exhibition highlights a multigenerational group of artists who engage the “semi-visible” figure—representations that are partially obscured\, including\, in some cases\, literally darkened. Using the concept of “going dark\,” these artists reflect on enduring and urgent questions surrounding social visibility. Visitors encounter in the show a variety of mediums\, including painting\, sculpture\, photography\, video\, and installation. Join us in exploring and interpreting the semi-visible figure during both in-person and virtual sessions. \nJanuary Mind’s Eye programming will be led by artist and educator Rukhshan Haque through verbal description and conversation. The virtual session will be accessible by web link or by dial-in phone number\, depending on your preference.  \nThe same program is offered twice virtually and twice in-person\, please only RSVP for one session. \n\nMonday\, January 8\, 6:30-8:30pm ET [Virtual]\nWednesday\, January 10\, 2:00-4:00pm ET [Virtual]\nMonday\, January 15\, 6:30-8:30pm ET [In-Person]\nWednesday\, January 17\, 2:00-4:00pm ET [In-Person]\n\nFree\, but space is limited.

SUMMARY:Sakasaka
DESCRIPTION:To request Audio Description seats\, submit the Ticket Request Form or contact access@lincolncenter.org or 212-875-5375. The performance on December 17th is also a Relaxed Performance. \nJoyful\, silly\, and… soaking wet! A delightful wordless comedy for all ages created by Madagascar’s La Compagnie Zolobe\, Sakasaka will add joy to everyone’s day. In the great tradition of slapstick comedians like The Three Stooges\, La Compagnie Zolobe’s clown trio uses physical comedy and body language to tell their story while remaining completely silent. They are accompanied by a musician who plays traditional instruments: kabosy (a rectangular guitar) and djembe (drum). The word sakasaka means “thirsty” in Malagasy and\, using just a mop\, bucket and a few bottles of water\, the clowns take audiences on hilarious adventures that gently and sincerely explore the preciousness of water. Laugh out loud and learn important lessons as you go on a journey of dance\, music\, splashes\, and joy!

SUMMARY:Online: Verbal Description Tours with Emilie L. Gossiaux and sonia louise davis
DESCRIPTION:Visitors who are blind or have low vision are invited to join Emilie L. Gossiaux and sonia louise davis in a virtual verbal description tour of their respective exhibitions\, Other-Worlding and to reverberate tenderly. Using various media and approaches across sculpture\, drawing\, painting\, figuration\, abstraction\, and improvisation\, Gossiaux and davis find common ground in their pursuit of softness and joy as a mode of resistance. Join these two artists as they each verbally describe three works from their solo exhibitions and discuss their work with participants. \nEmilie L. Gossiaux: Other-Worlding celebrates the autonomy that guide dogs and the white cane provide the blind and low-vision community in navigating a world predominantly designed for sighted people. Central to this exhibition is the question: can we imagine another world where unity is co-built across species and disability status? Through large-scale sculptural installation and drawings\, Gossiaux creates a world beyond the hierarchical structures of capitalism and ableism. \nsonia louise davis: to reverberate tenderly focuses on improvisation as a crucial practice of care\, resilience\, and self-determination in the face of systemic injustices. Situated within a lineage of Black feminist abstraction and avant-garde music\, davis’ invented graphic notation system invites new ways of resonating\, vibrating\, gesturing\, listening\, and responding. Throughout the exhibition\, davis presents this visual vocabulary in tufted soft paintings\, a site-specific mural with neons\, sculptural instruments\, and performances that engage with the process of improvisation as a generative and emancipatory form of research. \nThis two-hour program will be facilitated by Sarah Cho\, Assistant Curator. The virtual description tour will be accessible by Zoom link or by dial-in\, depending on your preference. \nRSVP Required via Zoom. Please sign up using this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYqf-2sqzsuH93YFKcwLbEHrghhDSPCw9YV \nFor questions or assistance registering for the program\, please email accessibility@queensmuseum.org or call 718 592 9700 x 247 \nAbout the Artists: \nsonia louise davis (b. 1988\, New York\, NY) earned her BA with honors in African American Studies from Wesleyan University and is an alumna of the Whitney Independent Study Program. She is a 2023-2024 Artist in Residence at the Studio Museum in Harlem. Her latest solo exhibition\, resonant frequencies\, blossoming tones\, at Hesse Flatow (NY) was listed a “must see” by Artforum in 2022. She has presented her work at the Whitney Museum (NY)\, ACRE (Chicago)\, Sadie Halie Projects (Minneapolis)\, Ortega y Gasset (Brooklyn)\,  and Artists Space (NY)\, among other venues. Residencies and fellowships include the Laundromat Project’s Create Change Fellowship\, Civitella Ranieri\, New York Community Trust Van Lier Fellowship at the International Studio & Curatorial Program\, Culture Push Fellowship for Utopian Practice\, and Stoneleaf Retreat. Her newest book\, slow and soft and righteous\, improvising at the end of the world (and how we make a new one) was published in 2021 by Co—Conspirator Press\, which operates out of the Feminist Center for Creative Work in Los Angeles. Sonia lives and works in Harlem. \nEmilie L. Gossiaux (b. 1989 New Orleans\, LA) lives and works in New York City. Gossiaux earned a BFA from the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in 2014\, and an MFA from Yale School of Art in 2019.

SUMMARY:Art inSight at Home: Ed Ruscha
DESCRIPTION:Art inSight at Home is an online program for individuals who are blind or have low vision. In each session\, staff educators highlight specific themes\, artists\, or exhibitions through verbal description and discussion using the Zoom platform. \nIn this interactive session\, we will have a conversation about the current exhibition ED RUSCHA / NOW THEN with the curatorial team. Artist Ed Ruscha has recorded and transformed familiar subjects—whether roadside gasoline stations or the 20th Century Fox logo—often revisiting motifs\, sites\, or words years later. Together we will trace shifts in the artist’s means and methods over time in works that make use of everything from gunpowder to chocolate. \nArt inSight at Home is free of charge. Participants may join with the Zoom app or website\, or toll free via phone. \nSpace is limited\, and preregistration is required. Please register at least 24 hours in advance of the program to ensure you receive the Zoom login information. Register today \nFor more information\, please call Access Programs at 212-408-6447 or email AccessPrograms@moma.org.

SUMMARY:La Banda Chuska
DESCRIPTION:La Banda Chuska merges the sounds of vintage Peruvian cumbia and psychedelic chicha with 1960s Latin American and Middle Eastern surf rock. They then add a dose of the surreal intensity of New York City to amplify their diverse musical and cultural backgrounds: Peru\, Argentina\, Puerto Rico\, and various corners of the U.S. The result is a fireball of post-punk energy and subversive playfulness\, a sort of tropical funk meets The B-52s. La Banda Chuska’s self-titled EP is a darkly cinematic\, musically expansive\, and eminently danceable weirdo party on wax that’s whipped up the fanbase they attract at regular performances at Brooklyn’s Barbés and other NYC music mainstays. For their Lincoln Center debut\, they’ll play songs from their first EP and introduce new cuts from their forthcoming LP.

SUMMARY:Guggenheim Museum: Poetry Is Not A Luxury
DESCRIPTION:Poetry Is Not a Luxury \n\n\nGrounded in the sentiment of Audre Lorde’s 1977 essay “Poetry Is Not a Luxury\,” this two-day gathering brings contemporary artists and poets together with museum audiences to explore poetry’s ability to invoke sensuality\, caesura\, and care. Designed by 2023 Poet-in-Residence Ama Codjoe\, this convening of discussion and exchange will illuminate poetry’s role in enabling humans to imagine\, dream\, and craft the kind of language that precipitates political action\, communal nurturing\, and social change. \n\n \n\nNovember 10 \n\n\nPoetry Is Not a Luxury Day 1: Poetic Freedom \n\n\n5-6:30pm ET (Virtual) \nLink to event page \n\n\nThis first day of the Poetry Is Not a Luxury program\, entitled Poetic Freedom\, will feature a live taping of the Poetry Foundation’s VS podcast with co-hosts Ajanaé Dawkins and Brittany Rogers and guests Arisa White and LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs. Attendees in this participatory event will have the chance to reflect on notions of care\, freedom\, and intimacy through group conversation\, interactive games\, and engaged listening. \n\n\nIn-person tickets for this program are sold out\, but the event will be livestreamed on the Poetry Foundation’s website. This program will include ASL interpretation and auto-captioning. \n\n\n  \n\n\nNovember 11 \n\n\nPoetry Is Not a Luxury Day 2: Poetic License  \n\n\n1-5pm ET (In-Person) \n\n\nLink to RSVP \n\n\nIn this second day of the Poetry Is Not a Luxury program\, entitled Poetic License\, poets and artists will share new work\, work in-progress\, and artistic reflections that express Lorde’s conviction that “poetry is not a luxury.” Featuring panel discussions\, poetry readings\, and performances\, the day will be interspersed with moments of grounding and personal reflection alongside pauses for inter-audience dialogue and connection. This program is free with RSVP and will include ASL interpretation. \n\nParticipants include Alexandra Bell\, Gabrielle Civil\, Alexis Pauline Gumbs\, Daria Simone Harper\, francine j. harris\, Omotara James\, Charleen McClure\, Ladan Osman\, Nicole Sealey\, Evie Shockley\, Lyrae Van Clief-Stefanon\, and Robyne Walker Murphy. A schedule will be posted in the fall.

SUMMARY:Guggenheim Museum: Poetry Is Not A Luxury
DESCRIPTION:Poetry Is Not a Luxury \n\n\nGrounded in the sentiment of Audre Lorde’s 1977 essay “Poetry Is Not a Luxury\,” this two-day gathering brings contemporary artists and poets together with museum audiences to explore poetry’s ability to invoke sensuality\, caesura\, and care. Designed by 2023 Poet-in-Residence Ama Codjoe\, this convening of discussion and exchange will illuminate poetry’s role in enabling humans to imagine\, dream\, and craft the kind of language that precipitates political action\, communal nurturing\, and social change. \n\n \n\nNovember 10 \n\n\nPoetry Is Not a Luxury Day 1: Poetic Freedom \n\n\n5-6:30pm ET (Virtual) \nLink to event page \n\n\nThis first day of the Poetry Is Not a Luxury program\, entitled Poetic Freedom\, will feature a live taping of the Poetry Foundation’s VS podcast with co-hosts Ajanaé Dawkins and Brittany Rogers and guests Arisa White and LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs. Attendees in this participatory event will have the chance to reflect on notions of care\, freedom\, and intimacy through group conversation\, interactive games\, and engaged listening. \n\n\nIn-person tickets for this program are sold out\, but the event will be livestreamed on the Poetry Foundation’s website. This program will include ASL interpretation and auto-captioning. \n\n\n  \n\n\nNovember 11 \n\n\nPoetry Is Not a Luxury Day 2: Poetic License  \n\n\n1-5pm ET (In-Person) \n\n\nLink to RSVP \n\n\nIn this second day of the Poetry Is Not a Luxury program\, entitled Poetic License\, poets and artists will share new work\, work in-progress\, and artistic reflections that express Lorde’s conviction that “poetry is not a luxury.” Featuring panel discussions\, poetry readings\, and performances\, the day will be interspersed with moments of grounding and personal reflection alongside pauses for inter-audience dialogue and connection. This program is free with RSVP and will include ASL interpretation. \n\nParticipants include Alexandra Bell\, Gabrielle Civil\, Alexis Pauline Gumbs\, Daria Simone Harper\, francine j. harris\, Omotara James\, Charleen McClure\, Ladan Osman\, Nicole Sealey\, Evie Shockley\, Lyrae Van Clief-Stefanon\, and Robyne Walker Murphy. A schedule will be posted in the fall.
