23 May RESISTERHOOD: Blind and low-vision tour
Visitors who are Blind, have low vision or are visually impaired are invited for a multisensory exploration of RESISTERHOOD, Young Joon Kwak’s solo show at the Museum. This touch and detailed visual description tour led by Azure D. Osborne-Lee features tactile opportunities and other sensory engagement.
RESISTERHOOD includes new commissions and works made over the past ten years, a series of neon sculptures for the Museum’s public window gallery, and a soundscape composed by Xina Xurner (Kwak and Marvin Astorga). Taken together, these artworks are a mobilizing call for a new politics of queer and trans resistance: embracing a playful erotics, and celebrating imperfection, abjection, ambiguity, and uncategorizable ways of looking and being.
