Opening of Our New Exhibition Disguise: Performance and Artist Roundtable

Thursday, April 28, 2016

7 pm

Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Auditorium, 3rd Floor

Join us on the opening night of Disguise: Masks and Global African Art for an in-depth roundtable with artists Brendan Fernandes, Nandipha Mntambo, and Saya Woolfalk and curator Kevin Dumouchelle, who will talk about masking as metaphor—in art, in politics, and in imagining the past and future.

Come early or stay later for performances by dancer Djassi DaCosta Johnson of Fernandes’s In Touch, which uses costume and choreographed gesture to question how we interact with art in museums (performances take place in the installation Double Take at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m.).

A limited number of free tickets available on a first-come, first-served basis at the Admissions Desk starting at 6 p.m.

Join as a Member and attend the Members Preview and Reception happening the same evening!
