Event Description

This panel discussion features a range of perspectives from individuals whose work intersects with the ideas and context of artist Bodys Isek Kingelez, drawing especially from Kingelez's interest in national identity and urban planning, and his experiences in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo). Panelists include photographer Sammy Baloji and anthropologist Filip de Boeck, coauthors of Suturing the City: Living Together in Congo’s Urban Worlds (2016); Chika Okeke-Agulu, Professor of Art and Archaeology, Princeton University; and others.


The program, held conjunction with the exhibition Bodys Isek Kingelez: City Dreams, is moderated by Sarah Suzuki, Director, Opening of the New Museum, and Curator, Department of Drawings and Prints.


The exhibition will be open to all program ticket holders from 5:45 to 6:20 p.m. on the evening of the program.


Tickets will be available beginning September 1. Tickets ($15; $10 members and Corporate Members; $5 students, seniors, and staff of other museums) can be purchased online, at the information desk, or at the Education and Research Building reception desk on the day of the program.
