Online, ASL, closed captioned.
Join artist and educator Meridith Gray Green for an American Sign Language tour on Zoom in conjunction with the 2021 Deaf Visual Arts Festival. Green will share and discuss artworks from the collection in a range of mediums, by artists whose work brings attention to social, political, and environmental issues. The tour will be centered on the site-specific mural Stacking Traumas by Deaf artist Christine Sun Kim. The mural identifies frustrations, obstacles, and stigmas attached to deafness while also promoting awareness and accountability from the artist’s perspective as part of the Deaf community.
In this virtual tour, participants will view images of the artworks from the Kemper Art Museum collection and special exhibitions through screen sharing and may share observations and questions. The hour-long tour is free, but registration is required. Visit https://www.kemperartmuseum.wustl.edu/events/tours/14565 to register.
