On Saturday, July 13 at 1 PM, take a tour of the exhibition #MovingStill with Interim Chief Diana Freundl and Artistic Director of @indiansummerfestival Sirish Rao! Free for Members or with Gallery admission.
“Moving Still” features the work of 13 artists from #India who use the camera’s power to subvert reality.
