Join Youth Insights Leaders as they talk with artists whose work is currently on view at the Whitney. Teens will ask the artist about their process and inspirations, and the artist will share what it is like to make art today and advice they might have for young artists. Participating teens are invited to add their own perspective to the conversation by sharing their thoughts via chat.
In this conversation, teens will chat with artist Kahlil Robert Irving about his ceramic assemblages and mixed media art. Irving’s 100s is on view in Making Knowing, Craft in Art, 1950–2019, and Black Space ≈ Street Freedom (⊕Real Road ⊥imbedded flags⊗) “No I don’t smoke” is on view in Nothing Is So Humble: Prints from Everyday Objects at the Whitney.
