Now on view at The Broad, Jeffrey Gibson: the space in which to place me is a special exhibition of the artist’s multidimensional work, adapted from its original presentation in the U.S. Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale in 2024, where Jeffrey Gibson was the first Indigenous artist to represent the United States with a solo exhibition.

 Gibson’s practice celebrates individuals and communities who have maintained their dignity and traditions in impossible circumstances, centering the resilience present in the legacies of Indigenous makers. He juxtaposes a variety of texts, from foundational legal documents to quotes from civil rights activists to pop song lyrics, combining American, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ histories with references to popular subcultures, literature, and global artistic traditions.

On Wednesday, June 4, RCC presents To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar. Starring Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze and John Leguizamo, To Wong Foo tells the story of three New York drag queens on their way to Hollywood who get stranded in a small Midwestern town when their car breaks down. While waiting for parts, the flamboyant trio shows the local homophobic rednecks that appearing different doesn’t mean they don’t have humanity in common.

Later in June, RCC presents a screening of The Birdcage (1996) on Sunday, June 29. A gay cabaret owner (played by Robin Williams) and his drag queen companion (Nathan Lane) agree to put up a false straight front so that their son can introduce them to his fiancée's right-wing moralistic parents (Gene Hackman and Dianne Wiest). Before the movie, enjoy a live drag show - don't forget your dollar bills, darlings!
