Explore the multidisciplinary career of trailblazing artist Yoko Ono and her enduring legacy of arts activism for peace and creativity in this two-day symposium. This convening assembles a host of scholars, artists, writers, and activists for a series of panels and performances that explore and highlight Ono’s message to think globally and act locally.
Attendees can also visit, contemplate, and leave their wishes in a grove of trees installed in the Wade Thompson Drill Hall as part of the performative artist’s Wish Tree, as well as activate the imagination through realizations of other performative works from her artistic practices as a collective call to action to change the world, one wish at a time.
Making Space at the Armory is made possible with support from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF).
Public support is provided by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature as well as the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council under the leadership of Speaker Adrienne Adams.
