DIS is a New York-based collective composed of Lauren Boyle, Solomon Chase, Marco Roso, and David Toro. Its cultural interventions are manifest across a range of media and platforms, from site-specific museum and gallery exhibitions to ongoing online projects. Across its various endeavors, DIS explores the tension between popular culture and institutional critique, while facilitating projects for the most public and democratic of all forums—the Internet. DIS has recently shown work at Frieze Art Fair, New Museum Triennial, Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, MoMA, and more.

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.
