Friday July 7 //  “Don’t mind if I do” with work by Felicia Griffin opens at moCa Cleveland

moCa Cleveland 11400 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, OH, United States

NIAD artist Felicia Griffin and Executive Director Amanda Eicher will be in person at the opening reception for this incredible exhibition! "Don’t mind if I do" destabilizes rigid ableist and exclusionary museum “best practices” like sparse seating, untouchable objects, dense wall labels, and guards who protect rather than invite engagement. It is a project built upon a framework of flexibility. By welcoming glitches, inviting informality and messiness, and unsettling the hierarchy of objects, "Don’t mind if I do" prioritizes people over artwork and makes more room for us to show up as our full selves.
