As part of Greater New York, Flushing, Queens-based collective Red Canary Song presents their Homeroom project Touch the Heart. The grassroots collective is led by migrant massage and sex workers across the Asian diaspora, and formed in 2017 in response to the death of Yang Song, a migrant Chinese massage worker killed during a police raid in Queens. Advocating for essential safety measures, they protested against police violence and argued for the decriminalization of unlicensed massage labor and sex work. Since then, Red Canary Song has expanded into a mutual aid network that foregrounds the experiences of directly impacted workers, providing groceries, cash assistance, translation services, and connection to legal support and person-first health care. Amid ongoing raids and mass deportations, Red Canary Song continues to organize across shifting conditions of visibility.
Our signature survey of artists living and working in the New York City area returns for its sixth edition this spring, coinciding with MoMA PS1’s 50th anniversary. Spanning all levels of MoMA PS1’s historic school building, Greater New York 2026 brings into focus over 50 multidisciplinary artists in the formative years of their careers.
Now in its 28th season, MoMA PS1’s signature summer music series Warm Up invites audiences to discover underground and emerging talent. Warm Up charts origin points for innovations in electronic music on Friday evenings at an hour that welcomes audiences of all ages.
Artist and poet Precious Okoyomon (Nigerian-American, b. 1993) transforms the MoMA PS1 courtyard into a living forest of plants, interactive sculpture, and sound in our inaugural Courtyard Commission. Among the Flowers I Learned to Love: A Garden of Decreation is Okoyomon’s largest outdoor installation to date and cultivates a world of grasses, flowers, weeds, sedges, pollinators, and vines. This ever-growing woodland brings together species often perceived in opposition, but which in reality co-exist: native and invasive plants, annuals and perennials, cultivated and wild growth.
Join artist Dean Millien for a family artmaking workshop inspired by The Cats and the Rats (2026), on view in Greater New York 2026, at MoMA PS1. Using aluminum foil and pipe cleaners, participants will create sculptural forms inspired by urban life and contribute them to a collaborative cityscape. Participants will create individual creatures or figures in relationship, using gesture and pose to explore survival, tension, play, care, and connection within shared urban spaces. Finished figures can be brought together into a collective cityscape, highlighting relationships, coexistence, and adaptation.
