Join us on Saturday, May 23, for an in-person participatory drawing workshop presented in American Sign Language (ASL) and inspired by our current exhibition Ceija Stojka: Making Visible.
Making Visible features the work of Roma artist, activist, writer, lyricist, and singer Ceija Stojka (1933-2013). Comprising more than sixty artworks, as well as a selection of sketchbooks, archival material, and documentary films made during Stojka’s lifetime, the exhibition explores the fullness of Stojka’s production as a visual artist, centered in her Roma life and heritage. Spurred by the resurgence of extreme right nationalism in Austria and abroad, and by her experiences as a Holocaust survivor, Stojka created works of profound beauty and horror that resonate today in strikingly contemporary terms.
Please note this in-person workshop, hosted by teaching artists Nic Annette Miller and Joyce Hom, will be in ASL with no voice interpretation. It is free and open to the signing community.
