Day-to-Day: A Life in Sticky Notes

Every night for almost two decades, artist Clare Johnson has drawn and written on a post-it to save a small piece of each ending day. In conjunction with the exhibition Day-to-Day: Rhythm, Routine, Resistance, join Johnson at the Henry for a talk and hands-on activity exploring personal histories and practices of everyday making. Set in the galleries amidst the Day-to-Day exhibition, which explores the poetics and politics of everyday life, learn about Johnson's practice and project’s unlikely origins; discover how it responds to society’s erasure of queer histories; and experience hidden stories—from the dramatic to the lighthearted—behind individual post-its. Johnson invites audiences to exercise curiosity about hidden histories we each hold, explore the power of meaningful self-made ritual, and uncover strange magic in everyday life.

This program will take place in the Henry's lower level galleries. Assisted Listening Devices (ALDs) and in-gallery seating will be available.

Free and Open to the Public
