JOIN US FOR THE OPENING OF KARA WALKER’S INCREDIBLE PROJECT! THIS SATURDAY, MAY 10, FROM 12 – 6 P.M. AT THE DOMINO SUGAR FACTORY
Have you heard the news? For her collaboration with Creative Time—and her biggest public project ever—Kara Walker has created a four-story-high sphinx-like woman, coated in sugar and holding court deep within the abandoned Domino Sugar factory. Come see her for yourself this weekend: Our public opening is Saturday May 10, noon to 6!
Read more about Kara’s work in this New York Times preview, which describes it as “a sight so unlikely it seems Photoshopped.”
