Please join us for MoMA’s bimonthly program welcoming individuals who are blind or have low vision and their guests to participate in a gallery experience. Educators highlight specific themes, artists, or exhibitions through verbal description, multisensory experiences, and discussion. The evening starts with a wine and snack reception at the Museum at 5:00 p.m., followed by an after-hours gallery tour from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m.
Together we will explore the exhibition Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction with the curatorial team. Textiles touch every aspect of our lives and connect us to history. This exhibition brings together more than 150 diverse, interdisciplinary objects. Highlighting issues of labor and identity that are intertwined with modern textile production, Woven Histories argues that weaving and textiles are the quintessential link between lived experience and art.
Art inSight is offered free of charge. Space is limited and preregistration is required.
Registration opens on May 15, 2025, at 10:00 a.m.
For more information, please call Access Programs at (212) 408-6447 or email [email protected].
