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.

SUMMARY:Little Satchmo Film Screening & Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Little Satchmo Film Screening & Discussion \nThursday\, July 25\, 6:30 pm | General Admission $10 / MEMBERS FREE \nTo the world\, Louis Armstrong is iconic — a symbol of musical genius\, unparalleled success\, and unassailable character. To Sharon\, he was simply Dad. Armstrong’s wholesome\, non-threatening image preserved his singular career as a black performer with unfettered access to a white man’s world. Yet he was more than a caricature. In private\, he held tightly to the things he loved. Perhaps closest to his heart was a child whom he hid from the world: a daughter sworn to a life of secrecy until now.  \nJoin the Reginald F. Lewis Museum for a screening of the Emmy-winning documentary (2023) exploring the life and legacy of Louis Armstrong through his relationship with the daughter that the public never knew existed.  Based on a revealing memoir written by Armstrong’s silent daughter\, the film seeks to correct a historical narrative relying on caricature for too long. A discussion with his daughter\, Sharon Preston-Folta  will follow.  Sharon Preston – Folta is the Executive Producer and  Writer to Little Satcmo. Sharon became a published author with her memoir “Living in The Shadow of my Father\, Louis Daniel Armstrong” in 2012\, which made public the private family life of Louis Armstrong. \nPurchase Tickets
