In the Donald and Linda Silpe Gallery, To Order the Days / Para Ordenar Los Días presents new paintings and collaborative artwork by this year’s Georgette and Richard Koopman Distinguished Chair in the Visual Arts, Genevieve de Leon, whose work centers on Maya astronomical knowledge and cosmology.

In the Joseloff Gallery, Designing the Dream State features work by the inaugural Whitney Artist-in-Residence, Chiraag Bhakta. An artist and designer whose practice is based in archival research, storytelling and collaboration in a variety of media, Bhakta’s exhibition unveils the history, legacies, and ongoing impact of western imperialism in South Asian-American lives.
