SUMMARY:Other-Worlding: Artist Talk by Emilie L. Gossiaux\, in Conversation with Georgina Kleege (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Disability Studies and Grey Art Gallery at NYU invite you to join Emilie L. Gossiaux for a virtual artist talk in advance of her debut museum solo exhibition\, “Other-Worlding”\, at the Queens Museum in New York City. Gossiaux will be in conversation with Georgina Kleege\, author of “More than Meets the Eye: What Blindness Brings to Art”. Gossiaux and Kleege will preview Gossiaux’s exhibit\, discuss her artistic practice\, and consider the ways a disabled artist’s experience can inform how museums provide access. \nEmilie L. Gossiaux is a multidisciplinary artist whose works center disability pride through her investigations of the complex relationships between humans and animals in the Anthropocene\, or the human-impacted world. Gossiaux’s work fosters imagination\, liberation\, and pleasure in opposition to the Anthropocene’s exploitative systems of capitalism and ableism. For her first museum solo exhibition\, Gossiaux will create a large-scale sculptural installation that both expands upon her deep and sincere relationship with her guide dog\, London\, and celebrates the white cane as a symbol of freedom. \nGeorgina Kleege is Professor Emeritus of English at UC Berkeley. She now lives in New York City. Her recent books include: Sight Unseen\, Blind Rage: Letters to Helen Keller\, and More than Meets the Eye: What Blindness Brings to Art. \nCo-sponsored by Proclaiming Disability Arts. \nVisitor Access and Registration \nASL and live captions will be provided. \nIf you require captioning and ASL simultaneously\, we recommend using a laptop or desktop computer\, and not a tablet or smartphone. \nPlease email accessibility needs as they relate to this event to msf440@nyu.edu.

SUMMARY:Voices of a People's History
DESCRIPTION:To request ASL-interpreted or caption viewing seats\, submit the Ticket Request Form or contact access@lincolncenter.org or 212-875-5375. \n  \nThe works of Brooklyn-born author and historian Howard Zinn (1922–2010)\, particularly the classic bestsellers A People’s History of the United States and Voices of a People’s History of the United States\, continue to shine a light on the extraordinary history of those engaged in struggles for freedom and justice in America. In collaboration with longtime Lincoln Center partner Voices of a People’s History\, this event spotlights readings and music from the social movements that have shaped our recent past\, as collected in the newest Voices book\, Voices of a People’s History of the United States in the 21st Century: Documents of Hope and Resistance. This new volume gives proof that history is made not only by the rich and powerful\, but by ordinary people taking collective action.

SUMMARY:J Hoard — Singer\, Songwriter
DESCRIPTION:J. Hoard interweaves genres to articulate his vivid songwriting. This eclectic approach has yielded songwriting collaborations on two Grammy-award winning albums (Black Coffee – 2022 “Subconsciously” Dance Album & Chance the Rapper – 2017 “Coloring Book” Rap album).  Additionally\, he works closely with artists such as Brasstracks\, Endea Owens\, Jose James and the legendary Meshell Ndegeocello (credited vocalist on her 2019 Grammy nominated “Ventriloquism” album). \nNo matter the genre\, platform\, or language (as demonstrated through his backing vocals on the Latin Grammy winning “Sobrevolando” Cultura Profetica album) J. Hoard possesses the essence of the Black church and allure of the Great White Way\, usually with his arms stretched out like Whitney Houston\, to ensure the audience is enriched while being entertained\nSocial Media: @jhoardmusic\nWebsite: https://www.jhoardmusic.com/ \nASL interpretation will be provided.

SUMMARY:The Dignity of Our Breathing: A Disability Pride Month Poetry Reading
DESCRIPTION:This Disability Pride Month\, join us for a poetry reading facilitated by Joselia Hughes featuring poets Kay Ulanday Barrett\, Dan Schapiro\, and Jackie Torres\, and in conjunction with the thirty-third anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Hughes framed this poetry reading with this invitation:  \n  \nLet’s be potent and clear: it is summer 2023\, the covid-19 pandemic rages\, neglect from the status quo proliferates\, many of our comrades have died\, many more of our communities are dying and becoming increasingly debilitated. It is July which means it is Disability Pride Month. In the face of unwavering violence\, Pride is a complicating energy to hold. It is neither just the appreciation of progress nor an acknowledgement of one’s efforts. Pride is a collective rally into the necessity of and our presence to dignity—in living\, in death\, in sorrow\, in celebration. The dignity of ourselves as individuals within a network of many. The dignity of our breathing. The dignity of our struggle. The dignity of our being here now\, our being there then\, our will to be again. In a small chorus\, Dan Schapiro\, Jackie Torres\, and Kay Ulanday Barrett will offer  up songs\, chants\, memories\, directives\, considerations\, dreams\, and much more on how we can continue our mission of dignified life for all of us.  \n  \nThis event will take place on Zoom and will be accompanied by an cozy in-person viewing in the Susan and John Hess Family Theater for folks who wish to convene in person. This event will have ASL interpretation\, CART captioning\, and a low-stimulus sensory environment. If you have any questions\, please email accessfeedback@whitney.org or call (646) 666-5574 (relay calls welcome). \n  \nThis event is free but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Mind's Eye at the Guggenheim - Sarah Sze: Timelapse
DESCRIPTION:The Guggenheim is continuing to celebrate the ideas\, people\, and art at the core of its mission by offering virtual and in-person Mind’s Eye programming for participants who are blind or have low vision. Join us in July to explore the current exhibition Sarah Sze: Timelapse. \nIn this solo exhibition\, artist Sarah Sze reimagines the Guggenheim’s iconic Frank Lloyd Wright–designed building as a public timekeeper\, creating immersive environments and a series of site-specific multisensory installations to activate our collective experience and memory. Visitors encounter a variety of mediums in the show including painting\, sculpture\, sound\, video\, and architecture. \nJoin us in exploring and challenging concepts of time and memory. As a group\, we’ll engage with\, in the artist’s own words\, “a contemplation on how we mark time and how time marks us.” In both in-person and virtual sessions\, we’ll have a chance to reflect on and respond to the passage of time. \nJuly’s 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 will be offered twice virtually and twice in person; please RSVP for only one session.  \nVirtual Program Dates: \n\nMonday\, July 17\, 6:30-8:30pm ET\nWednesday\, July 19\, 2:00-4:00pm ET\n\nIn-Person Program Dates: \n\nMonday\, July 24\, 6:30-8:30pm ET\nWednesday\, July 26\, 2:00-4:00pm ET\n\nFree\, but space is limited.
