** ZACKARY DRUCKER CURATES FILM PROGRAM AT WHITNEY MUSEUM ON JULY 12
————————————————————
New York, NY, July 1, 2024 — The Whitney Museum of American Art will present an onsite film screening guest curated by award-winning producer, director, and artist Zackary Drucker for the 2024 Whitney Biennial (https://whitney.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=387f59a72ae7b64ccae37d5c9&id=db50af4289&e=59415c6e7e) on Friday, July 12 at 7 pm. Drucker is a trans woman and activist who often works collaboratively to share narratives about gender-expansive people and women and humanize their communities and struggles.
Screened in the Museum’s theater, this curated program of short films, entitled Sis, I Don’t Know: Remembrance a Summer Flower, International Portal of Artificial Maximum Results, brings together an intergenerational group of filmmakers whose work explores love, desire, and loss. The experimental and narrative films examine the body, gender, and sexuality through relationships that go beyond the romantic to include relationships with oneself, with art, and within the filmmakers’ communities. A special conversation between Drucker, who exhibited artwork at the 2014 Whitney Biennial, and artists Miranda Haymon and Nyala Moon will follow this screening.

** ABOUT THE WHITNEY
————————————————————
The Whitney Museum of American Art, founded in 1930 by the artist and philanthropist Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (1875–1942), houses the foremost collection of American art from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Mrs. Whitney, an early and ardent supporter of modern American art, nurtured groundbreaking artists when audiences were still largely preoccupied with the Old Masters. From her vision arose the Whitney Museum of American Art, which has been championing the most innovative art of the United States for ninety years. The core of the Whitney’s mission is to collect, preserve, interpret, and exhibit American art of our time and serve a wide variety of audiences in celebration of the complexity and diversity of art and culture in the United States. Through this mission and a steadfast commitment to artists, the Whitney has long been a powerful force in support of modern and contemporary art and continues to help define what is innovative and influential in American art today.
Whitney Museum Land Acknowledgment
The Whitney is located in Lenapehoking, the ancestral homeland of the Lenape. The name Manhattan comes from their word Mannahatta, meaning “island of many hills.” The Museum’s current site is close to land that was a Lenape fishing and planting site called Sapponckanikan (“tobacco field”). The Whitney acknowledges the displacement of this region’s original inhabitants and the Lenape diaspora that exists today.
