The holidays have come and gone and the start of 2026 is upon us! This new year brings us to a brand new season at TUAG, with two exhibitions in our Medford and Boston (SMFA at Tufts) locations opening this month and opportunities engage all season long. From a newly-commissioned site-specific performance at Boston’s African Meeting House at the Museum of African American History (MAAH) to a sound installation and participatory procession activating the bells of Tufts’ Goddard Chapel and more, we’re thrilled to offer a slate of exciting programming engaging spaces within and beyond gallery walls. Below, you can learn more about our upcoming season, register for the community-wide openings and performances to celebrate Michelle Lopez: Shadow of a Doubt and Magical Thinking, of Systems and Beliefs, and explore our full slate of sound, new media, and performance-based programming in the months ahead. |
