DonChristian Jones, the inaugural Adobe Creative Resident at MoMA, presents The Sumptuous Discovery of Gotham a Go-Go, an installation inspired by their Bed-Stuy studio and their “double life” as a painter, teacher, rapper, and performer. Incorporating design elements from film noir, Blaxploitation films, the Harlem Renaissance, and Ballroom culture, the exhibition features Jones’s paintings, photographs, music videos, and artifacts, alongside materials from their father’s archive. Extending their world-building practice, the show includes a performance program and functions as an outpost for Public Assistants, a space founded by Jones for queer and trans people of color to create and share joy.
