Free Artist Roundtable and Dance Performances at the Brooklyn Museum. 4/28. Beginning at 6:30PM

Join us on the opening night of Disguise: Masks and Global African Art. At 6:30 and again at 8:30 enjoy a performance by dancer Djassi DaCosta Johnson of artist Brendan  Fernandes's  In Touch, which uses costume and choreographed gesture to question how we interact with art in museums. (performances take place in the installation Double Take).

At 7pm gather in the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Auditorium, on the 3rd floor for an in-depth roundtable with artists Brendan Fernandes, Nandipha Mntambo, and Saya Woolfalk and curator Kevin Dumouchelle, who will talk about masking as metaphor - in art, in politics, and in imagining the past and future.

A limited number of free tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis at the Admissions Desk starting at 6PM.

This evening is part of Thursday Nights hosted by Squarespace
