Please join us for MoMA’s bimonthly program welcoming individuals who are blind or have low vision and their guests to participate in a gallery experience. Educators highlight specific themes, artists, or exhibitions through verbal description, multisensory experiences, and discussion. The evening starts with a wine and snack reception at the Museum at 5:00 p.m., followed by an after-hours gallery tour from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m.
Together we will explore the exhibition Frida and Diego: The Last Dream with a MoMA educator and a special guest from the Metropolitan Opera. Organized in conjunction with the Met Opera’s new production of El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego, the presentation at MoMA features artworks by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera in an elaborate setting designed by Jon Bausor, the set and co-costume designer of the opera. As the opera and installation design attest, the pair continue to have an enduring influence on artists across the visual and performing arts.
Art inSight is offered free of charge. Space is limited and preregistration is required.

Image description: An installation view of a dimly lit exhibition gallery. A blood-red-colored tree in the center of the room is rooted to a mound of clay-colored earth. The tree grows up through a vibrant blue four-poster bed. Its gnarled branches reach up to cradle a large mirror hanging from the ceiling. The mirror reflects the tree within the bed below it. Paintings by the artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera are spotlit on the walls in the background, framed by pulled-back blue theater curtains.
