River L. Ramirez leads this month’s Writing Club, which explores the expressive nature of artworks by Cy Twombly and others in Gallery 405: Acting Out. Inspired by Ramirez’s comedy-writing and performance practice, we’ll experiment with writing as a means of personal, direct gesture. This session takes place online via Zoom.
This Writing Club is an opportunity to build community among people invested in writing, magick, collective consciousness, and liberation. The same session will be offered twice, once online via Zoom and once in MoMA’s galleries.
Registration
Register for Writing Club at Home on Tuesday, April 8, 12:00–1:15 p.m. ET (online via Zoom)
River L. Ramirez (they/them) is a New York City–based artist originally from Miami. Though they work in the mediums of comedy, film, TV, writing, visual art, and music, it’s easy to forget they are just a little Furby with a knife. Ramirez’s work explores magick, collective consciousness, and liberation through play. Their work has been written about in the New York Times, Forbes, Art in America, SSENSE, and GQ. They teach a class called “How to Be in Front of People” at the Brick Aux and just released a new EP titled GIVING. You can also find them in Julio Torres’s film Problemista.
About Writing Club
Writing Club, an ongoing program at MoMA, is part of the Museum’s Artful Practices for Well-Being initiative, which offers ideas for connectedness and healing through art. At each Writing Club, a guest writer introduces different works of art and offers a series of creative prompts. The intention is to offer a calm, supportive, and welcoming environment for anyone interested in generating new writing in the company of visual art and a fellowship of writers.
