Join María Magdalena Campos-Pons and her gathering of women artists as they celebrate the roles women have played in the progress of the United States and perform a “cleansing gesture” for future generations. This is the first-ever live performance of When We Gather, and the first performance artwork commissioned by the National Gallery of Art. When We Gather was performed in conjunction with the National Gallery of Art’s Afro-Atlantic Histories exhibition, on view until July 17, 2022.

The idea came to María Magdalena Campos-Pons in a dream: women of all ages, races and sizes all in white, moving counter-clockwise in a circle around the White House. Circular motion as healing or cleansing ritual from her Yoruban heritage, and linked to Native American, Jewish and other cultures.
