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 in the galleries.
Together we will explore the exhibition Ruth Asawa: A Retrospective with a teaching artist. Featuring some 300 artworks, the exhibition charts Ruth Asawa’s lifelong explorations of materials and forms in a variety of mediums, including wire sculptures, bronze casts, drawings, paintings, prints, and public works. This first posthumous survey celebrates the ways in which she continuously transformed materials and objects into subjects of contemplation, unsettling distinctions between abstraction and figuration, figure and ground, and negative and positive space.
Registration opens on November 12, 2025, at 10:00 a.m.
Art inSight is offered free of charge. Space is limited and preregistration is required.
For more information, please call Access Programs at (212) 408-6447 or email [email protected].
