Join us for the opening of 2018 ICP-Bard MFA candidate Naima Green’s solo exhibition, All the black language, at the ICP-Bard MFA Studios in Long Island City.

In All the black language, Green interweaves photographs, bodily sculptures, and performance to examine home as a language of liminality where the dominant vernacular is one of access and reification. Using her own body as a primary site of experimentation, Green works with instruction and gender performance to tease the boundaries of intimacy, femininity, and self-transformation.
