VSA, the international organization on arts and disability, presents a conversation with actor, Paralympic athlete, model, and innovator Aimee Mullins. Mullins is also the owner of more than a dozen pairs of prosthetic legs, many of which have been exhibited in museums. She has spent her life striving to change perceptions about disability and beauty. For this event, she will discuss the importance of re-imagining the body’s physical and artistic potential. Several of Mullins’ prosthetic legs—including an intricately carved wooden set designed by the late fashion designer Alexander McQueen—will be on display the evening of the talk. The discussion will be moderated by Kristen Hileman, curator of contemporary art at the Baltimore Museum of Art.

This event is free with reservations. Email [email protected] or call 202.628.2800 to reserve tickets.
