Use existing poems and text inspired by themes of the Caribbean diaspora to create your own poem in this drop-in black-out poetry activity. Join artist Yaissa Jimenez, in collaboration with FORGOTTEN LANDS, for a self-guided activity in which you can transform pre-selected texts into visual poetry.

Accessibility

Assisted listening capabilities available
In order to serve visitors with hearing loss, the Crown Creativity Lab includes induction hearing loops for sound amplification. Visitors can turn their hearing aid or cochlear implant to T-coil mode to hear enhanced sound effortlessly. The loop system does not work with hearing aids without telecoil technology.

All-gender restrooms are located on Floors 1, 3W, 5, and T1.

Sign language interpretation available
American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation and live captioning is available for public programs upon request with two weeks’ advance notice. MoMA will make every effort to provide accommodation for requests made with less than two weeks’ notice. Please contact [email protected] to make a request for these accommodations.
