What Grows? is the first piece of a long-term participatory mural project, titled After the Fire, initiated in 2020 by MoMA PS1 with artists Nanibah Chacon (Dinè and Chicana, b. 1980), Tatyana Fazlalizadeh (Persian and Black American, b. 1985), and Layqa Nuna Yawar (Runakuna, Ecuadorian, North American, b. 1984).
MoMA PS1 presents a newly commissioned work made collaboratively by siblings Chuquimamani-Condori (Elysia Crampton Chuquimia, b. 1985, Inland Empire, CA) and Joshua Chuquimia Crampton (b. 1983, San Diego) in PS1’s double-height ground-floor gallery.
MoMA PS1 presents an intergenerational storytelling project with Malikah, a global grassroots collective of women committed to building safety and power through healing justice, self-defense, and financial literacy.
For their first durational museum presentation, the avant-garde musical ensemble Standing on the Corner (American, est. 2016), led by Gio Escobar, will create a sonic, multimedia installation that brings together spiritual objects, modified instruments, and moving images.
Join us for performances by avant-garde musical ensemble Standing on the Corner. The artists will activate their exhibition Seven Prepared Pianos for the Seven African Powers, a large-scale installation of seven pianos distinctly presented and prepared, with symbolic objects inserted into their strings to create apparitional interventions.
