Inviting the public into dialogue with artists, theorists, researchers, critics, educators, and cultural workers, the Gallery’s events position exhibition making as a lens through which to examine today’s issues and debates. Recognizing the public’s sense for inquiry and experimentation, these workshops, lectures, screenings, tours and other interventions ask us to reflect critically upon the ways we look and the forces inflecting our experience. Welcoming and supporting different modes of public participation, the Gallery’s programming aims to make and hold space for new vectors of interpretation and inclusion.
