On the third Thursday evening of each month, come to YBCA for free gallery admission, extended hours, and live programming.

This May, YBCA invites artist Arash Fayez—officially known as Faeiz—to explore personal and historical notions of (Muslim) migrations using the Live Practice platform. In his lecture-performance piece 1438, Fayez will carry out the second chapter of his ongoing investigation into the psychoanalytic dimensions of displacement. The artist will transform YBCA into a campsite to reflect on the circumstances of conflict and crisis raised by displaced communities. The evening is broken into two phases, beginning with a lecture from 5–6PM in YBCA’s Screening Room, followed by a series of live situations. Moving between discursive and physical spaces, Faeiz considers the relationship between place and the displaced.
