Tour the DIA’s new contemporary exhibit, 7 Mile + Livernois, by artist Tiff Massey. Then, at 7:30 PM, join DJ Shaun J. Wright for dancing and a cash bar in Rivera Court and the Great Hall.

7 Mile + Livernois is Tiff Massey’s new gallery installation, featuring sculptures commissioned by the DIA in conversation with works by other artists from the museum’s collection. Massey’s work reimagines art’s role in the community, offering a vibrant, inclusive view of Detroit. Her art invites us to celebrate collective identity, ancestral flyness, and beauty.

Raised in suburban Chicagoland, Shaun J. Wright spent their teen years immersed in the sounds of house music. During their undergraduate years at Morehouse College, they developed skills as a dancer in the vogue ballroom scene. As a DJ, Wright steadily exhilarates dance floors by weaving live vocals throughout their sets, performing internationally in Berlin, London, Stockholm, Barcelona, and in their hometown of Chicago at the Smart Bar.

This program is free with registration. Capacity is limited, and registration is recommended. DJ Shaun Wright’s set will not be a seated performance.
