In his luscious paintings, Ana Segovia (b. 1991, Mexico City, where he lives) twists assumptions of masculinity through a queer lens. Working with an aggressive palette of neon colors, daring compositions, and cinematographic framing and cropping, Segovia undermines the gendered basis of Mexican national identity built around male stereotypes standardized by film. The artist often develops specific display strategies for his paintings, borrowing from the language of installation, theater, dance, and video art to effectively situate them in the exhibition space. MOCA Focus: Ana Segovia will feature a new painting commissioned for the exhibition plus two recent bodies of work, including I’ve Been Meaning to Tell You (2023), a suite of eight paintings depicting film stills from a non-existent queer film the artist wished to have seen in his formative years.

Hailee Catalano, trained chef, former restaurant cook, and recipe developer in conversation for By Heart: Recipes to Hold Near and Dear . Moderated by Courtney Storer, Culinary Producer for The Bear. Book signing and meet and greet to follow. Learn to make elevated, professional-quality meals in your own kitchen with over 100 creative, seasonal recipes from Hailee Catalano Growing up cooking the Sunday gravy, meatballs, and pasta alongside her Italian American grandmother, Hailee Catalano developed a huge passion for food. This passion led her to the Culinary Institute of America, and then to cooking in restaurants. But somewhere along the way, Hailee started to miss the home cooking that made her fall in love with food in the first place. Restaurants made it seem like beautifully made food was too difficult to recreate at home. In By Heart , she presents over 100 restaurant-quality recipes designed to be made in your home kitchen. You'll find seasonal pastas ( Pasta alla Norcina with Roasted Squash ), veggie-forward recipes designed to make the most of your CSA box ( Caponata with Dried Cherries and Green Olives ), simple meat dishes ( Roast Chicken with Red Wine Vinegar and Honey ) breads ( Hearty Seeded Rye Bread ), butters ( Calabrian Chile Honey Butter ), condiments ( Chicago-Style Fennel Giardiniera ), perfect beach sandwiches ( Brie and Butter Sandwich with Shallot-y Frisée ), simple sweets ( Malted Milk Butter Cookies ), and so much more. Inspired by her professional training and love of seasonal cooking, Hailee includes details on how to keep a calm kitchen, navigate a farmers market, make your own broths and the perfect sourdough loaf, and plan out a Friday Night Dinner menu. Carefully crafted from the heart, this is a book you'll return to again and again. Information Source: Now Serving | eventbrite

Thursday, May 8 at 7:00PMDividing Lines: How Transportation Infrastructure Reinforces Racial InequalityACLU President Deborah N. Archer In conversation with Sister Helen PrejeanFrom an eminent legal scholar and the president of the ACLU, an essential account of how transportation infrastructure―from highways and roads to sidewalks and buses―became a means of protecting segregation and inequality after the fall of Jim Crow. Our nation’s transportation system is crumbling highways are collapsing, roads are pockmarked, and commuter trains are unreliable. But as acclaimed scholar and ACLU president Deborah N. Archer warns in Dividing Lines, before we can think about rebuilding and repairing, we must consider the role race has played in transportation infrastructure, from the early twentieth century and into the present day. Drawing on a wealth of sources, including interviews with people who now live in the shadow of highways and other major infrastructure projects, Archer presents a sweeping, national account―from Atlanta, and Houston to Indianapolis and New York City―of our persistent divisions. With immense authority, she examines the limits of current Civil Rights laws, which can be used against overtly racist officials but are less effective in addressing deeper, more enduring, structural challenges. But Archer remains hopeful, and in the final count describes what a just system would look like and how we can achieve it.
