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 May we will explore the exhibition Marcel Duchamp with the curatorial team. “Why is this art?” is a question often asked by viewers of contemporary art. It is virtually impossible to answer it without referring to the work of Marcel Duchamp. Over a six-decade career, Duchamp challenged the very definition of the artwork, ushering in a new era of creative license—the reverberations of which are still felt today.
Interpreting MoMA is offered free of charge. Space is limited and advance registration is required. Registration opens on April 23, 2026, at 10:00 a.m.
For more information or to register, please email [email protected] or call Access Programs at (212) 408-6447.
