We’ve teamed up with University of Washington community partner AgePRIDE-Healthy Generations to provide museum tours for adults aged 55 or older. Older adults are invited to experience the transformative power of contemporary art and ideas through tours of the museum's exhibitions with the Henry Art Liaisons. The Henry Art Liaisons (HALs) are a diverse and creative community of undergraduate student interns who aim to change the practice and future of museums.

Join us within Donna Huanca: MAGMA SLIT for a conversation featuring Huanca and writer Jazmina Figueroa.

Join us for a free private workshop to talk through and feel the tension of being within a museum—a colonial institution associated with practices of archiving sacred items and controlling stories. Guided by fabian romero’s poetry scholarship practice, this workshop for Indigenous peoples and people of color will offer the opportunity to write in conversation with Donna Huanca and ektor garcia’s multidisciplinary arts practices. Themes that may be explored include the coloniality of gender and sexuality, and the racialized violence within hidden histories.

Every year, hundreds of whales and other marine mammals strand on the shores of the North Pacific. These ocean-dwelling animals are mostly hidden from humans during their lifetimes, but in a stranding death, they reveal themselves to us, and call on us to care. What might this care look like? What can these deaths teach us about the lives of these animals and the entangled futures of humans and oceans? Join us for an evening of reading, listening, and reflecting on these questions together.

Join us for an evening with composer and artist Lyra Pramuk, the first in a series of performances held within the immersive installation Donna Huanca: MAGMA SLIT. Lyra’s set will take place on an auxiliary stage that Huanca designed for other artists to share their ideas on transcendence, meditation, and transformation. Lyra’s presence extends the long-term collaborative relationship and dialogue between the two artists.
