Please join us for Disability Art Chats, a community space for folks who identify as disabled, crip, MAD, and/or C/S/X, and those allied with the principles of disability justice. During this free, 90-minute online program, we use a crip perspective to unearth fresh interpretations of MoMA’s collection and foster friendship through creative discussion. No specialized understanding of art, art history, or crip theory is required. Join us in October for a presentation and conversation with Johanna Hedva exploring themes of abjection, monstrosity, and wretchedness as both strategy and condition. Johanna Hedva is a Korean American writer, artist, and musician who was raised in Los Angeles by a family of witches and now lives in LA and Berlin. Hedva is the author of the essay collection How to Tell When We Will Die: On Pain, Disability, and Doom, the novels Your Love Is Not Good and On Hell, as well as Minerva the Miscarriage of the Brain, which collects a decade of work in poems, performances, and essays. Their albums are Black Moon Lilith in Pisces in the 4th House and The Sun and the Moon. Their work has been shown in at Gropius Bau, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Klosterruine, Institute of Cultural Inquiry, JOAN, HRLA, the Getty’s Pacific Standard Time, the LA Architecture and Design Museum, the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, Performance Space New York, Gyeongnam Art Museum in South Korea, the 14th Shanghai Biennial, Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Zürich, Modern Art Oxford, Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Bolzano, the Museum of Contemporary Art on the Moon, and in the Transmediale, Unsound, Rewire, and Creepy Teepee Festivals. Their writing has appeared in Triple Canopy, frieze, The White Review, Topical Cream, Spike, and Die Zeit, and is anthologized in Whitechapel: Documents of Contemporary Art. Their essay “Sick Woman Theory,” published in 2016, has been translated into 11 languages. This program is offered free of charge. Advance registration is required. Registration is currently open.
