This program is online via Zoom.
FREE. Registration recommended.
Experts and artists come together to explore the rise of graffiti as an art form and the ways that art in public space shapes community and culture. This conversation is the first in a series of programs that examine how graffiti imagery has permeated our culture and evolved over time.
This program is presented alongside the exhibition “OSGEMEOS: Endless Story”, the first US museum survey and largest US exhibition of work by identical twin brothers Gustavo and Otavio Pandolfo, known globally as OSGEMEOS—Portuguese for “the twins.” The yearlong, full-floor presentation brings together approximately 1,000 artworks, photographs, and archival materials to highlight the trajectory of their collaborative multidisciplinary practice, including the roots of their fantastical artistic language, inspired by their upbringing in urban Brazil.
ASL translation will be provided on Zoom, and CART (real-time captioning) will be provided across all platforms. If you have any questions about accessibility for this program, please email [email protected].
