Kevin Beasley’s new exhibition at the ICA demonstrates the artist’s incredible ease in working with a wide range of unexpected materials—sound, clothing, and more—to create immersive and imaginative visual and acoustic experiences. In this public program, Beasley will introduce Boston audiences to his creative process and discuss his many inspirations with Ruth Erickson, the ICA’s Mannion Family Curator.
