Join docent Nancie Shillington-Pérez in featured exhibition Keith Haring: Radiant Vision for a close-looking tour of the iconic artist’s Apocalypse series, a collaboration with writer William S. Burroughs. Are there parallels between the euphoria and fear represented in this work from 1988 and today? After discussing these mature themes, the tour ends on the brighter topic of Haring’s Luna Luna Karrussell, part of an artistic amusement park project.
