Join writer Anaїs Duplan for a multi-session, seminar-style series in our galleries to explore the concepts of privilege and power in contemporary art through reading short texts, writing in response to exhibitions, and discussion.
This series focuses on exhibitions by Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) identifying artists at MASS MoCA, who explore the concepts of privilege and power in some form. Duplan poses the question: “Power is a big part of political and artistic discourse but can feel very abstract; what does it mean?” Each session will help to understand and assess how power manifests in each exhibition.
Participants can register for a single event or the entire series. Registration includes admission to the event and exhibition galleries, and copies of two books.
Book titles to explore for this series include:
Emergent Strategy, adrienne maree brown
Homo Sacer, Giorgio Agamben

October 25, 2025: Vincent Valdez: Just a Dream...
January 31, 2026: Jimena Sarno: Rhapsody
