Join us for a series of special events in celebration of the artist and exhibition Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers.
At the heart of Rashid Johnson’s installation work, Antoine’s Organ, 2016/2026, is the piano, which will be played by musicians at scheduled times throughout the exhibition. When activated through performance, the piano underscores music’s life-giving capacity to convey narrative and communal connection, particularly within Black communities.

Middle School Open House – A Day for Deep Thinkers is a free, interactive community program created in connection with the special exhibition, Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers and organized in partnership with Fort Worth Independent School District. The program invites middle school students into a space for exploration, creativity, and self-expression, reflecting the importance of this formative age in Johnson’s life.
This free event is from 10 am–5 pm.
In partnership with the Thank You Darlin’ Foundation, Voices 2 Youth Poetry Slam Living the Dream provides a platform for students ranging from third to twelfth grade to showcase their talents. This poetry slam encourages young artists to reflect on their dreams, lived experiences, cultural roots, and resilience. Presenting their own original poetry helps students build confidence, strengthen literacy, and learn to use their voice with power and purpose, transforming personal stories into powerful performances.
In conjunction with the special exhibition Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers, the Modern presents "Don’t Lose Poetry," a two-part film program shaped by Johnson’s multidisciplinary practice and the thematic currents running through both the exhibition and his 2019 feature‑length adaptation of Richard Wright’s Native Son.
In conjunction with the Modern’s exhibition Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers, Sounds Modern presents Music for Deep Thinkers. More information to come.
This concert is free and open to the public.
Join us for an open mic night hosted by Emmy Award–winning artist Black Ceasar, inspired by the special exhibition Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers. This special event invites community voices to share work that reflects creativity, reflection, and bold expression. A night of art, energy, and deep thinking. This performance is free and open to the public.
