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. In July, we will be in conversation with Riva Lehrer. We’ll explore the many layers of representation, and what it means to have the disabled body visible in art and in art institutions like MoMA. Riva will pose the question, “What is it we dream of when we say we want to see our bodies in the Museum?” Together we will explore works from MoMA’s collection chosen by Riva, as well as some proposed by you. Using the Google form sent in the registration confirmation email, we invite you to suggest an artwork that makes you feel represented. Riva Lehrer is an artist, writer, and curator who focuses on the socially challenged body. The recipient of multiple awards for her visual work, Lehrer is best known for representations of people whose physical embodiment, sexuality, or gender identity have long been stigmatized. Lehrer’s memoir Golem Girl won the 2020 Barbellion Prize for Literature and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. This program is free of charge. Advance registration is required. Program accessibility Images and descriptions of works to be discussed will be sent to registered participants prior to the programs. Sessions will include verbal description, live captioning, ASL interpretation, and a virtual quiet room. You can request any additional accommodations and let us know how we can best support their full participation in this program in the registration form.
