Ruth Asawa's Flowers |
Learn about Ruth Asawa's drawing practice + try your own! |
We're incredibly excited to announce a collaboration with Wendy MacNaughton's DrawTogether Grown-Ups Table, a creative community of people who gather together every week and use the act of drawing to open their eyes and change themselves (and the world) from the inside out. Over the coming weeks the DrawTogether Grown-Ups Table will focus on the inspiring work of Ruth Asawa and our exhibition Ruth Asawa: Retrospective
— leading up to a live drawing event at SFMOMA later this summer.
This week, the DrawTogether Grown-Ups Table will take inspiration from Ruth Asawa’s flower drawings and channel Josef Albers’s advice to make them their own. Learn about Asawa's methods and try your hand at drawing your own flower!

Drawn Together: Afrofuturism |
Thursday, June 19
Workshop 6–6:45 p.m.
Program 7–9 p.m. |
In honor of Juneteenth, Drawn Together debuts an exploration of Afrofuturism as a tool for powerful worldbuilding. As a cultural movement, Afrofuturism centers the histories, practices, and aesthetics of the African American diaspora in a reclamation of the past and a building of speculative futures that imagine Black liberation and a culture created through a Black lens.
