FEATURING a series of lecture demonstrations by Sara Shelton Mann, Jarrel Phillips, Nadhi Thekkek, and Snowflake Towers. Followed by discussion moderated by Claudia La Rocco, Director of Community Engagement and Editor-in-Chief, SFMOMA’s Open Space.

The featured artists will respond to the following questions through language and movement:

  • How does history/the past operate in your work?
  • Who or what are the giants in your tradition (whether forgotten or celebrated) and how do they figure in your work?

Following the four artists’ presentations, there will be a group discussion, moderated by Claudia La Rocco, Director of Community Engagement and Editor-in-Chief, SFMOMA San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s Open Space.
