Greater New York, MoMA PS1’s signature survey of artists living and working in the New York City area, returns for its fifth edition.

Slow Factory transforms Homeroom into a site of collective learning and co-creation at the intersection of climate justice, social equity, and regenerative design through their evolving presentation, The Revolution is a School. The presentation features video, printed ephemera, installation, and a workshop series, all of which invite interaction and collaboration from visitors.
Slow Factory hosted a series of workshops and conversations fostering social and climate justice learning as part of Homeroom: The Revolution is a School. Maya Moumne, co-founder of graphic design studio, Studio Safar, and it’s accompanying magazine Journal Safar, as well as the editor-in-chief of Al Hayya Magazine, hosted a virtual lecture investigating the decolonization of visual culture in response to decades of European and North American hegemony. Design is inherently political: it shapes our cities, our homes, bodies, and minds. It curates, connects, arranges, and defines. And, perhaps above all, it carries the power to shape our responses to challenges big and small, local and global, short and long term.
On the occasion of Diane Burns’s inclusion in Greater New York, poet Nicole Wallace organizes a day of reflection on Burns’s work and legacy. Burns wrote poetry and produced drawings, often critiquing stereotypes of Native Americans and addressing the complexities of urban life. The program brings together a group of Indigenous writers and artists to dig into Burns’s creative practice and generate new considerations and interpretations. The afternoon will include a series of presentations of new textual material by Lou Cornum, Sky Hopinka, and Maria Hupfield, followed by a conversation moderated by Wallace.
