The Guggenheim Museum will be presenting a virtual “Mind’s Eye” verbal description virtual program on March 14 from 6:30 – 8:30 pm EST and March 16, from 2 – 4 pm EST. Mind’s Eye programming is offered regularly to participants who are blind or have low vision. This month’s program focuses on how contemporary artists “create and challenge personal and historical narratives through their work.” The work of An-My Lê, Carrie Mae Weems, Zarina and others “who shed light on dark corners of history” will be explored. The same program will be held both days so RSVP for one session by March 10. This event is free, but space is limited. To RSVP, call (212) 360-4355 or email [email protected].
