SUMMARY:Barak adé Soleil\, SHIFT at Museum of Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:On May 6\, Barak adé Soleil premieres a new work\, SHIFT\, that amplifies the presence of Black neurodiverse and disabled bodies by occupying the museum’s spaces both digitally and physically. \nSHIFT is a new commission comprised of a video installation in one of the MCA’s public stairwells\, accompanied by a live performance. In the dreamlike video installation that runs from May 2nd through June 19\, the presence of Black neurodiverse and disabled bodies infiltrates a spiral stairwell within the museum\, where they are shown from many angles and at multiple scales\, both at rest and as they shift. adé Soleil’s installation offers rest\, and the everyday gestures of these bodies\, as forms of political resistance for Black people—challenging the media’s often violent interpretation of these bodies as lazy or near death. In the live event on May 6\, a promenade of performers traverse inaccessible staircases\, recalibrating the flow of activity within the museum and challenging simplistic depictions of Black disabled bodies in real time. \nThis performance is durational and will move through different areas of the museum\, including the MCA Plaza and front steps\, the northwest spiral staircase\, and both public lobbies. The majority of the performance will take place in the spiral staircase on the west side of the museum’s first floor\, and will be visible from various angles on multiple floors. The available space for viewers will change based on the location of the performance as it moves through the museum\, and MCA staff will be available to facilitate the audience’s movement to maintain access to elevators\, passageways\, and stairwells. Portable stools will be available for visitors who wish to use them\, where possible. ASL interpretation will be provided. Designated areas for wheelchair and mobility device users will be available on the staircase landings. The MCA Commons\, on the museum’s second floor\, will display a livestream of the performance as it takes place for visitors who wish to stay in one location. The livestream will also be available for visitors to join from their mobile devices from elsewhere in the museum. Live audio description will be provided: devices will be available at the museum and audience members may also use their personal devices to access the audio description through a URL provided on-site. \nAccessibility: ASL interpreted\, audio description\, touch tour\, wheelchair accessible \nhttps://visit.mcachicago.org/events/barak-ade-soleil-shift/
