What does decorative art reveal about who we are — and what we long for? Join curator Elizabeth McGoey and tattoo artist Beth Mintzer for a cross-disciplinary conversation exploring the cultural afterlives of Tiffany glass. From turn-of-the-century studios to today’s tattoo parlors, Tiffany’s glowing forms and botanical motifs continue to carry meaning, memory, and myth.

Together, McGoey and Mintzer will reflect on identity across time, gender, labor, legacy, and nostalgia & cultural memory. Rather than two separate presentations, this program invites both speakers to think with one another — weaving together museum scholarship and lived studio practice to trace how decorative arts continue to travel, transform, and speak across time. The result is a conversation about beauty as a cultural language: inherited, reinterpreted, and tattooed into the present.
