Rubin Museum Fellow Chitra Ganesh talks about the power of animation, her medium of choice in the interactive exhibition “The Scorpion Gesture.” Why does she love animation? Because it brings alive unfamiliar ideas in a relatable visual language.

During her May-June residence at the Rubin, Ganesh curates a set of conversations to explore multiple possibilities in science fiction, feminism, justice, moods, and more, plus sci-fi films for the Cabaret Cinema series, with each screening introduced by a special guest.

Chitra Ganesh’s program series Face of the Future is made possible Rasika and Girish Reddy, Manoj and Rita Singh, and the Akhoury Foundation.
