Join us for a pop-up conversation with artist Aslı Çavuşoğlu, whose work is on view in Kissing through a Curtain. Working across various media, Çavuşoğlu often assumes the role of an interpreter, writer, or facilitator in her projects in order to highlight the precarious and subjective nature of our shared histories. Curator Alexandra Foradas will talk with Çavuşoğlu about translation, mourning, and the relationship between language and politics in Çavuşoğlu’s installation With Just the Push of a Voice.

This event is free with gallery admission and will take place in Aslı Çavuşoğlu’s exhibition, in Building 4, 3rd floor—purchase admission here. Admission is always free for MASS MoCA members. Not yet a member? Become one here.

Major support for Kissing through a Curtain is provided by the Artist’s Resource Trust (A.R.T.) Fund, a fund of Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation. SAHA provided production support for Aslı Çavuşoğlu. Programming at MASS MoCA is made possible in part by the Barr Foundation, Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation, and Mass Cultural Council.
