Guggenheim Tuesdays: Conversations

Inspired by a passage from the late Toni Morrison’s Beloved (1987), this program explores shifting fault lines in art history and emergent forms of cultural criticism. Join a gathering of public intellectuals as they assess the social and political forces that impact contemporary art making and its broader ecosystem. What do writers with a background in critical race and ethnic studies interdisciplinarity bring to the past and future of art history, one that has been predominantly Eurocentric and masculine? If arts and culture writing must keep pace with the changing social world, which directions must it go? Beyond social and cultural analysis, will writers be tasked with pronouncing their broader political commitments? Scholar J. Faith Almiron leads the conversation with Jessica Bell Brown, Ashley James, Aruna D’Souza, and Greg Tate about the practice of writing and research toward social transformation without fear.

$25, $20 members, $18 students. Ticket includes same-day museum admission. Same-day admission tickets may be presented at the door for free entry to the event as space allows. Schedule subject to change. For more information and tickets, visit guggenheim.org.

This program is supported by The Keith Haring Foundation.
