A conversation about artistic collaboration with poets Ada Limón (The Carrying, 2018) and Natalie Diaz.

Is it possible to consider all acts of art-making as collaborations, as works made in tandem with one’s-self, with others, with spaces, with objects, with ideas? Over the past few months, poets Natalie Diaz and Ada Limón embodied this question as they searched WCMA’s online collection selecting and sharing works of art, and responding to each other’s discoveries. From their conversations emerged eight paintings and photographs on display in WCMA’s Reading Room. These worksserve as the starting point for further collaborations, including student workshops and an ongoing written exchange between Natalie and Ada. This program will begin with a look at the selected works on view at the museum, followed by a conversation about artistic collaboration.
