How do you throw a brick through the window… is a research initiative comprised of a symposium, artist-led workshops, and exhibitions, co-organized by Tufts University Art Galleries with the John Michael Kohler Arts Center taking place from 2024–2026. The research initiative invites artists to engage the radical questioning of writer, artist, astrologer, and disabled non-binary Korean-American activist, Johanna Hedva: “How do you throw a brick through the window of a bank if you can’t get out of bed?”

To kick off this research initiative, join us for an artist symposium co-organized by TUAG Curator Laurel V. McLaughlin and Associate Curator Tanya Gayer, John Michael Kohler Arts Center with TUAG Exhibitions Assistant Meera Chauhan. Visit our website to learn more and register.
