According to David Hammons, “outrageously magical things happen when you mess around with a symbol.” Join us for a closer look at how Hammons created a vocabulary of symbols from everyday life and transformed them into works that defy categorization.

This session is led by Angela Garcia.

Join us for lively conversations and engaging activities, facilitated by Museum educators, that offer insightful and unusual ways to engage with MoMA’s collection and special exhibitions.
