The National Portrait Gallery will debut “Surroundings: A Tribute to Maya Lin” on Sunday, Oct. 16 at 6 p.m. at Kogot Courtyard.
The gallery’s choreographer-in-residence Dana Tai Soon Burgess will be performing in response to the museum’s exhibition “One Life: Maya Lin.” The performance and exhibition explore the life and work of the acclaimed architect, sculptor and environmentalist.
Burgess drew inspiration from Maya Lin’s design training and linear aesthetic and has choreographed an abstract, angular and architectural performance that emphasizes the lines of the dancer’s bodies in relation to space.
Admission to the performance is free and more details are available on the gallery’s website. The post National Portrait Gallery honors American designer appeared first on Washington Blade: LGBTQ News, Politics, LGBTQ Rights, Gay News.
