SUMMARY:BLACK WOMAN GENIUS: Elizabeth Talford Scott—Tapestries of Generations
DESCRIPTION:Opening February 1\, 2024\nThe Reginald F. Lewis Museum presents BLACK WOMAN GENIUS: Elizabeth Talford Scott—Tapestries of Generations\, in partnership with the Elizabeth Talford Scott Community Initiative\, the 2023-24 Exhibition Development Seminar (EDS) capstone project for MICA’s undergraduate Curatorial Studies Concentration.  The exhibition focuses on Elizabeth Talford Scott as a key figure for Black women in the fiber arts. Her work will be showcased alongside contemporary Black women fiber artists from the Chesapeake area. The exhibit will explore themes including Ancestry\, Tradition\, Fiber Narratives\, and Healing\, aiming to spotlight the distinctive elements of Elizabeth Talford Scott’s work and featured artists including: Kibibi Ajanku\, Aliana Grace Bailey\, Aliyah Bonnette\, Mahari Chabwera\, Dr. Joan M.E. Gaither\, Murjoni Merriweather\, Glenda Richardson\, Joyce J. Scott\, Nastassja Swift\, and Katherine Stewart Wilson. \nWe will showcase several of Elizabeth Talford Scott’s remarkable works. Among these\, “Stamps and Flags II\,” one of her early creations\, pays tribute to her evolution and exploration as an artist. This exhibition aims to emphasize Elizabeth’s significant influence as a maternal figure for generations of Black women fiber artists. Through her exceptional artistry\, she brilliantly reflects her life experiences as a Black Woman. \nThe Elizabeth Talford Scott Initiative\nThis initiative brings together five museums and four university sites across Baltimore City for a reunion of the artist’s work from February through May 2024. Each venue will have at least two Exhibition De students from the participating colleges—Coppin State University\, Johns Hopkins University\, MICA\, and Morgan State University—working on a presentation of Talford Scott’s work for their gallery spaces and organizing a free public program. Under the guidance of 2023-24 EDS Instructor Deyane Moses\, the students will determine the curatorial direction of their presentation\, drawing out connections to each organization’s collection\, space\, history\, and/or audience. \nMajor support for “No Stone Unturned” provided by the Bunting Family Foundation and Friends of EDS. Community Day is supported by Lorraine Whittlesey & Markell Whittlesey. Printed and digital materials are supported by The William G. Baker\, Jr. Memorial Fund. The Closing Reception is supported by Carol and Jerry Doctrow. In-kind support is provided by the Estate of Elizabeth Talford Scott at Goya Contemporary Gallery. \nNOTE: Purchasing a ticket to BLACK WOMAN GENIUS: Elizabeth Talford Scott—Tapestries of Generations view grants visitors access to all current Museum exhibitions. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Felt Memories | 2D Needle Felting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Felt Memories | 2D Needle Felting Workshop \nSaturday\, May 18 | 11 am to 1 pm | Museum Admission \nWhen was the last time you looked through that box of old family and childhood photos? In this workshop\, we will source imagery from some of our most fondest memories to recreate a two-dimensional felted portrait with wool. Using a piece of felt fabric to size\, we will apply transfer methods to allow for an exact fiber replica of the original photo. Then\, with a specific set of needles\, we will add all the details needed to bring these moments to life. Once completed\, you’ll leave this workshop with a hand crafted retelling of a story you once lived. This fiber art workshop is facilitated by Black Women Genius artist\, Nastassja Swift.  This workshop is open to all ages. This workshop has limited space. \nNOTE: All materials are provided\, though you will need a physical copy of your image. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Black Women Genius Conversations Art & Healing
DESCRIPTION:Black Women Genius Conversations Art & Healing \nSaturday\, May 18 | 2 pm – 3 pm   \nEnjoy a roundtable conversation exploring Black women identity through the contemporary works of Black Women Genius fiber artists  Aliana Grace Bailey\, Murjoni Merriweather and Nastassja Swift. These artists will discuss how their soft sculptural and woven installations become transformative narratives embracing healing and love for Black women and Black culture.  \nAliana Grace Bailey’s art is a powerful journey of self-discovery\, celebrating Black womanhood\, and honoring the sacred aspects of life. Through her creative expressions\, she weaves intricate narratives using vibrant colors and environments\, inviting viewers to join her on a path of self-awareness.Through her work\, she weaves layers of interconnection\, comfort\, and storytelling. Her art beautifully juxtaposes notions of beauty\, optimism\, and\, at times\, the harsh realities of life. Aliana Grace Bailey’s creations are a testament to the power of art as a transformative and healing force. \nMurjoni Merriweather’s art is a response to and a rejection of these negative stereotypes about Blackness\, both within and outside the Black community. It involves dismantling European beauty standards imposed on Black people while promoting and normalizing Black culture. Embracing their hair\, skin\, and features without shame\, her artwork celebrates various facets of Black culture\, from hair and grills to nail art. \nNastassja Swift is an artist who specializes in making sculptures using wool. She creates soft sculptures that tell stories about history\, women\, spirituality\, and community connected to the human body.She gets inspiration from West African masks and Yoruba rituals\, using techniques like needle felting and working with fibers to bring her ideas to life.Her portraits challenge traditional ideas of who we celebrate\, question historical accounts\, and share Black people’s rich experiences and memories. \nRegister Here
