2025 Art21 at the Movies

On October 8 and 10, 2025, Art21 hosted its second 'Art21 at the Movies' event in New York. The two-day program featured film premieres, artist talks, and screenings at venues including the Metrograph and the Museum of Modern Art. It highlighted artists from the 'Art in the Twenty-First Century' series and included discussions with filmmakers and curators.

The event matters as it serves as a significant public platform for contemporary artists and filmmakers, fostering community and providing behind-the-scenes insights into the art documentary filmmaking process. It also amplifies recognition for established artists like Lubaina Himid and showcases Art21's ongoing role in documenting and promoting contemporary art.
