Hello everyone,

On behalf of the entire team, I would like to warmly invite you to join us this evening live from NYC via Zoom (7 PM ET / 4 PM PT) for our weekly free and interactive tour.

This week’s is: #87 Considering Art: Considering Lineage - featuring the work of Jon Key.

Jon Key (he/him) is a Queer Black man originally from the small rural town Seale, Alabama now living and working in Bushwick, NY. A writer, designer and painter, his work excavates the lineage and history of his identity through four themes: Southernness, Blackness, Queerness, and Family.

Through the process of writing, photography and painting, Jon’s work is portrayed graphically through four colors: Green, Black, Violet and Red. Respectively, these colors intertwine memory and intimate recounting of the four pillars grounding the work.

In this tour, we embark on some close looking.

Together we ask: What do you see?
