After the Fire is a participatory mural project by artists Nanibah Chacon, Tatyana Fazlalizadeh, and Layqa Nuna Yawar.
This major exhibition of artist Ralph Lemon (b. 1952, Cincinnati) features more than forty artworks made over the last decade across disciplines and marks the debut of several collaborative performances. One of the most significant figures to emerge from New York’s downtown scene, Lemon engages deeply with the legacies of postmodern dance in the US and the capacity for storytelling through movement.
The Fortune Society: Future Freedoms marks the second exhibition at MoMA PS1 by the Long Island City-based non-profit organization that supports successful reentry from, and promotes alternatives to, incarceration.
MoMA PS1 presents Rant #6, the latest iteration of Lemon’s critical collaborative work. Each performance is conceived as “a very loud site-specific sound, movement, voice, Brown/Black body cultural experiment in rage, freedom and or ecstasy…” In Rant #6, funk, text, and trance movement collide in exhaustion and emphatic resistance.
