The Guggenheim welcomes visitors from the D/deaf community for an in-person American Sign Language (ASL) tour on Sunday, September 21, from 6 to 8:30 pm. Join us at the museum to experience the major solo exhibition Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers.
On this tour, we’ll explore Johnson’s role as a scholar of art history, a mediator of Black popular culture, and as a creative force in contemporary art. Almost 90 works—from black-soap paintings and spray-painted text works to large-scale sculptures, film, and video—fill the museum’s rotunda. Among them is Sanguine, a monumental site-specific work on the building’s top ramp, complete with an embedded piano for musical performances.
This after-hours program will be led by educator Joyce Hom. We’ll begin with a tour of the galleries followed by a light reception and art-making activities in the education center.
Designed for the D/deaf community, the tour is in ASL only without voice interpretation. Due to limited capacity, we cannot accommodate ASL students at this time.
Free, but space is limited. Please RSVP at least three days before the program.
