Behind The Exhibition: Social Security | Birds of a Different Feather

Join artists MartyO and Saki for a virtual discussion covering the inspiring origin story and powerful artwork featuring in OMA’s exhibitions Social Security and Birds of a Different Feather. Hosted by OMA’s Director of Exhibitions and Collections Katie Dolgov, this program will explore two exuberant and thought-provoking collections of wearable art, each distinctive in style yet seamlessly connected by common themes of social commentary and the disruption of traditional gender roles. Learn about the artists’ individual visions and approaches to their work, as well as their newly formed collaboration born out of their winning participation in OMA’s Night of The Living Art: An Art After Dark Fashion Extravaganza.
