Please join us for MoMA’s bimonthly program welcoming individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing to participate in an ASL–interpreted private gallery talk focusing on one of MoMA’s exhibitions, along with a wine and snack reception.
In September we will explore the exhibition Hilma af Klint: What Stands Behind the Flowers with members of the curatorial team. This exhibition focuses on a portfolio of af Klint’s drawings that is new to MoMA’s collection. Breaking with traditional botanical art, af Klint juxtaposed her exquisitely rendered blossoms with precisely drawn diagrams. With this profusion of forms—an expansion of the abstract language for which she is best known—af Klint visualizes “what stands behind the flowers,” demonstrating her belief that careful observation of her surroundings reveals ineffable aspects of the human condition.
Interpreting MoMA is offered free of charge. Space is limited and advance registration is required. Registration opens on August 6, 2025, at 10:00 a.m.
