Access live captioning for the theater programming
Self-reflect and dance with joy this month as we welcome the new exhibitions A Place for Me: Figurative Painting Now and Bárbara Wagner & Benjamin de Burca: Swinguerra. Create art with this month’s visiting Art Lab artist Mithsuca Berry, who through storytelling explores reflection, healing, and reimagination. Get the family moving with dancers from Afrobeats Dance Boston, a dance company that focuses on Contemporary African music. Reserve free admission tickets online in advance with the code PLAYDATE* and join us for art-making and family activities. Explore additional exhibitions in the galleries: Napoleon Jones‐Henderson: I Am As I Am – A Man, The Worlds We Make: Selections from the ICA Collection, and Raúl de Nieves: The Treasure House of Memory. Keep creating at home with a curated selection of downloadable activities that explore the art of storytelling.
