Soft Structures, Tooth + Nail Gallery (Milwaukee, WI)
At the center of a community there are flexible, resilient bones - a scaffolding of warp and weft, stories are woven through repetition and intuition. This group exhibition explores the edges of fiber art within the Milwaukee area.
Illustrations of ancestry, mourning and a world we long for, whose potential is blessed by every stitch, is longed into being. We share the preciousness and disposability of heirloom objects. We experience, grieve and heal the ubiquity of invisible labor with beauty, care, and solidarity. Soft Structures celebrates textile traditions, while making-into their evolving role in our shared futures. Opening reception is Friday April 12th 6-9pm at Tooth + Nail Gallery 2018 S 1st Street Suite 308. For more information, visit the gallery’s website.

Contemporary African Spirituality in Art, Walsh Gallery at Seton Hall University (South Orange, NJ)
Opening Reception: Thursday, January 18, 5 - 8PM.
Curated by Atim Annette Oton, “Contemporary African Spirituality in Art” envisions what cultural practices have been mixed, juxtaposed and collided with ideas, themes, materiality and techniques that are both African and contemporary by African and African diaspora artists.

March 2-August 24, 2024 (in-person)
Black Pioneers: Legacy in the American West, Stark Museum of Art (Orange, TX)
Dispelling the myth that Black people in the old West were mostly cowboys, Black Pioneers: Legacy in the American West, shows rich diversity in their occupations and achievements in society, religion, education, and the arts.
Choosing quilts as the visual medium for this exhibition accentuates the intersections of African Americans in the Western Frontier while informing others about the art form and its important role in African American history.
An extension of the travelling exhibit “Black Pioneers: Legacy in the American West,” curated by Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi. For more information, please visit the museum’s website.
