Over the past few months the Museum has been abuzz with exhibitions and programs exploring the intersection of art and activism—here in Brooklyn, across the country, and around the world.This Target First Saturday (6/7) we are continuing our season of #activism with a celebration of LGBTQ communities in Brooklyn and of artists who use their work as a vehicle for social change. This lineup is not to be missed. Katy Pyle and the Ballez perform a gender-bending remix of Stravinsky’s ballet The Firebird; Bushwig’s Horrorchata and Macy Rodman host a Brooklyn drag showcase; and for those of you not content with watching, Benny Ninja Training Academy leads a voguing workshop. “But Jessie, what is this voguing you speak of?” Watch this and start fine-tuning your strut. The night ends with the pop sounds and synchronized dance greatness of AVAN LAVA. But we’re not all fancy footwork here at the Brooklyn Museum. You can also engage in critical discussions with local artists and organizations and get involved with LGBTQ activism in Brooklyn. Dance, celebrate, advocate. Show your pride.
