Our summer convening series is well underway, and we’re delighted to invite you to our next convening on Saturday, July 23rd. In partnership with NYU Center for Disability Studies, the Museum will host a day-long convening and exchange focusing on Böttner’s oeuvre, diving into the possibilities of queer kinship, and the embodied experiences of transgender identity, disability, and migration, which Böttner’s work illustrates.
Our fabulous lineup includes Exhibition Curator Paul B. Preciado; Adrian Jones–Adjunct Professor, Fashion Institute of Technology; Alice Sheppard & Laurel Lawson of Kinetic Light; Artist Mary Duffy; Author McKenzie Wark; Simi Linton of Proclaiming Disability Arts; and Jules Gill-Peterson, author of Histories of the Transgender Child, and more.

Image description: A triptych shows us three different people: The first is a woman slyly smiling at the camera, wearing red-tinted glasses with a blue hued background behind her. The middle image is of a disabled performer, Perel. They are mid-dance, wearing a flowy blue shirt that matches the lighting of the image. A cane is visible in their left hand. The final image is of a smiling Black woman, Kayla Hamilton, who looks directly at the camera. |
