Join Visual AIDS and The Bronx Museum for the opening of Ministry: Reverend Joyce McDonald. Curated by Kyle Croft, Executive Director of Visual AIDS, Ministry is McDonald's first solo museum exhibition.
A longtime Visual AIDS Artist Member, McDonald began working with clay in 1997 through an art therapy program, shortly after her diagnosis with HIV. She quickly recognized the medium’s potential for healing and transformation. Working intuitively, she allows figures to emerge from the clay, giving form to memories and emotion while processing experiences of addiction, domestic violence, and illness.
You are welcome to drop in for this event, but if you plan on attending, please consider letting us know in advance with an optional RSVP.
Ministry: Reverend Joyce McDonald is accompanied by a fully-illustrated 112-page catalogue published by Visual AIDS, in collaboration with the Bronx Museum. The catalogue is available to purchase for $35 on the Visual AIDS store.
