Accessibility Notice:

Edges of Ailey will have modified gallery experiences for K-12 groups. Guided Visits for 9-12 grades will have the option to self-explore for a portion of their tour. Guided Visits for K-8 grades will have modified gallery experiences designed for the needs of each class. As the exhibition is filled with high volumes of sound, primarily from a surround video which also contains flashing and strobing effects, discussion and inquiry-based activities are not conducive within the space. Please see below for more information about accessibility in Edges of Ailey.
- The exhibition is enveloped by a surround video created by Josh Begley and Kya Lou with Adrienne Edwards. This video contains flashing and strobing effects that should be avoided by people who have photosensitive epilepsy or who may be susceptible to seizures.
- The entire exhibition is filled with high volumes of sound, primarily from the surround video.
- The exhibition contains very low lighting and walls and pedestals are painted a deep red.
- If you have any questions or concerns regarding accessibility, please contact grouptours@whitney.org.
