Artworks on view at the Museum right now touch on the politics of race, identity, and cultural appropriation; power, access and privilege; the role of art in activism and social change; and more. As a platform for art that engages with pressing social issues, the Whitney Museum is committed to fostering dialogue and debate in this series of tours.
After you see Jimmie Durham: At the Center of the World and An Incomplete History of Protest: Selections from the Whitney's Collection 1940–2017, join Whitney Museum Teaching Fellows for an open discussion about the politics and ethics of representation.
