El artista Rayyane Tabet ha instalado preguntas del examen de naturalización de Estados Unidos en lugares inesperados del Museo, como parte de su contribución en Bienal 2022 del Whitney. Las frases sacadas de contexto y presentadas sin sus respuestas oficiales, nos invitan a pensar críticamente en conceptos como ciudadanía y nacionalidad. En estas visitas a la galería, se invita a los participantes a reunirse y aprender con un becario del programa Joan Tisch Teaching Fellow, para considerar cuestiones fundamentales de la historia, el gobierno y la participación cívica de los Estados Unidos, en diálogo con la historia institucional del Whitney a través de su colección y arquitectura.

For these in-gallery tours inspired by the work, visitors are invited to join a Joan Tisch Teaching Fellow to consider fundamental questions of United States history, government, and civic participation in dialogue with the Whitney’s institutional history through its collection and architecture.
