Professor Jill H. Casid’s Conversation on Curating the Whitney Biennial

Professor Jill H. Casid joins Whitney Biennial 2026 co-curators and UW-Madison Art History alumni Marcela Guerrero (Ph.D. 2015) and Drew Sawyer (B.A. 2005) for a conversation about the process of organizing this edition of the Whitney’s signature exhibition. Hosted by the Whitney Museum of American Art on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, at 6:30 p.m., the conversation will take place in the Floor 3 Theater and via Zoom. Together, they will share insights from their ongoing research and dialogues with artists to shed light on how contemporary art reflects the current moment. The discussion will also consider the various forms of relationality, including interspecies kinships, familial relations, geopolitical entanglements, technological affinities, shared mythologies, and infrastructural supports, that are woven into the work of the 56 artists on view.
