2025 Making Space at the Armory

Held in our historic period rooms and spaces, this insightful series of cutting-edge conversations, performances, and installations provide a unique forum for bridging art and culture. These happenings—curated by professor and Guggenheim fellow Tavia Nyong’o—make space for new points of view and unique perspectives from a diverse array of artists, scholars, cultural leaders, and social trailblazers.

Inspired by civil rights legend Grace Lee Boggs’s famous question—“What Time is it on the Clock of the World?”—this season invites audiences to become activeparticipants in the conversations and connections that weave art into the texture of civic life in our current moment.
