The Bass Dialogues with Isaac Julien

Internationally acclaimed artist Isaac Julian returns for a highly anticipated conversation moderated by Silvia Karman Cubiñá, Executive Director of The Bass. Together, they reflect on Julien’s groundbreaking video installation Vagabondia (2000), a recent gift from collectors Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz and now on view at the museum. The work was among the first to posit the museum as a space where suppressed stories and experiences can – and should – surface in their totality. Twenty-five years after its debut, we revisit the work and context in which it’s presented today.
