Tu Que Bivas
MFA Boston

December 7, 2023

Welcome to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston exhibit. This audio guide includes all of the images from the current Tu Que Bivas series.
Delve into the details and symbolism of Behar’s creative practice and hear from curators and artists speak about her photographs.

This tour also includes text transcripts and detailed audio descriptions of the photographs for visitors who are blind or have low vision.

An older woman, (the artist’s mother), is facing the camera, in front of a gray background. She is wearing a dark blue dress. One hand sits on her lap while the other holds up a photograph in a gold frame, completely blocking her face.
