Join us for an American Sign Language (ASL) gallery tour of the exhibition Fade. This program invites members of the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community to connect around works of art by artists of African descent.

Comprising newly commissioned and loaned artworks from a variety of media, Fade reflects the concerns of a new generation of artists. Through sculptural and visual interventions that foreground ancestry, spaces of refuge, land as archive, grief, and the surreal, Fade locates the in-between as a space of resistance.

This tour explores the work of seventeen emerging artists of African and Afro-Latinx descent from across the United States. Deaf Museum Educator Zavier Sabio leads visitors in engaging conversation through the galleries. After the tour, visitors are welcome to continue the conversation over small bites and refreshments from local restaurants.

These tours do not have voice interpretation.  Due to limited capacity, ASL students are not permitted to attend. 

This tour is free of charge and requires advance reservation.
