I have no words and very few pictures, but tonight was a night I will long remember.To be on stage, to bring in and showcase the work, and to hear the clarion call voice of @carriemaeweems asking what lessons we will learn, what work we will do with the history and art she dares us to confront… what a gift, what a task, what an honor.

My first 5k! From pretty pose, to start line, to sweaty finish with my race buddy Saya Woolfalk, who sped to an impressive time.But I’ve been on a health mission this past year that includes running for the first time in my life and setting this goal for fall and meeting it feels great! We’ll be back in the spring, and who knows maybe then I can do the 10k! Thanks Prospect Park & BK for being so beautiful & @sybille_ldn & @phuelmyfitness @phuelmyrun for getting me to this fitness milestone!

Yesterday was such a special day.So thrilled to finally share @americanart ‘s install of @tuan.andrew.nguyenThe Island with the globe-trotting artist, and then share a stage with him and musician and collaborator @thaonguyenphan_who closed out a deep, fun, occasionally funny convo with her song Temple that brought many to tears.Thanks for all the feels, and the lessons of the past to keep pondering and working to heal.

First 2 photos thanks @silverthorne02 !

The time is now. Let’s make history together.

It’s strange to post that last night was super fun, but even as we talked about The Dance of Death, betrayed revolutions, past and future apocalypses on this continent, and how to get audiences to care about mass murders and erased histories, it was exhilarating to feel the collective commitment and community that we’ll be bringing to what’s ahead.Thank you @tinariversryan @artforum @lozanohemmer @lucyscribbles & Courtney Martin @rauschenbergfoundation for being in conversation and helping me think through this moment - on stage and off.And thank you @themorganlibrary @clairesgilman for hosting!
