Contemporary Support Council members and other special guests are invited to join us for an intimate tour of Isaac Julien: I Dream a World, led by Claudia Schmuckli, Chief Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, followed by a toast. 

Celebrated for his poetic visual narratives, Julien explores power, politics, and personal experience through the lens of race, class, gender, and sexuality. The works’ themes range from global migration to the collection and appropriation of African artists and art by Western museums to the celebration of cultural figures who overcame racial oppression. Shot across Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, the Americas, and Asia, Julien’s works untangle the complex web of post-colonial conditions that has shaped the lives of individuals and societies across the globe.
