Tomorrow at 5PM, you’re invited to join us in Beacon Hill to experience the world premiere of Jonathan González’s suite for a minor meeting, a new commission and collaboration between Tufts University Art Galleries and the Museum of African American History (MAAH), Boston / Nantucket.

Presented in the historic African Meeting House (46 Joy Street, Boston, MA 02114), this hotly-anticipated performance will cap off MAAH’s series of community-centered cultural programming this February in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Black History Month.

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.
