Tomorrow at 6PM, we’re delighted to host Magical Thinking, of Systems and Beliefs exhibiting artist Jonathan González alongside MAAH Chief Curator and Director of Collections Angela T. Tate, and playwright Phillip Howze, with moderation by TUAG Curator Laurel V. McLaughlin for Surfacing Site, a panel discussion at TUAG / Boston.

This panel will engage the site-specific research practices involved in the creation of suite for a minor meeting, González’s new site-specific performance staged in the historic African Meeting House at MAAH’s Beacon Hill Campus.

Register for the panel discussion here and learn more about the Saturday evening performance of suite for a minor meeting below.

Tufts University Art Galleries (TUAG) and the Museum of African American History (MAAH) present suite for a minor meeting, a new, site-specific performance by artist Jonathan González, who works at the intersections of choreography, sculpture, text, and media.

González’s performance, inspired by their print series on view in the exhibition Magical Thinking, of Systems and Beliefs at TUAG / Boston (230 Fenway) through April 19, 2026, is staged within the historic African Meeting House—the oldest surviving Black church building in the United States. The program, part of MAAH’s Black History Month calendar of events, is free and open to the public. Seating is limited and reservations are encouraged.

This collaboration juxtaposes González’s expansive research and interdisciplinary artistry with one of Boston’s most significant landmarks of Black community life, political organization, and abolitionist history.

Featuring vocalists Ifeanyi Epum, Ogechi Okoye, and Valentine Umeh, suite for a minor meeting unfolds as a guided experience through the architecture of the African Meeting House.
