Murmurations: For the Love of Birds

With an introduction that briefly tells the story of birding, the urgent need to save birds, and the importance of conservation for our society as a whole, this exhibition includes the work of three contemporary visual artists who explore the topic through various media.

The Legend of Kente

“The Legend of Kente” features over 50 kente weavings, 4 garments, and detailed interpretive materials that explore the histories, meanings, and stories depicted by the extraordinary master weavers of present-day Ghana.

Thrift Style

Thrift Style explores the reuse of feed sacks to make clothing and other household objects and illuminates how the “upcycling” of these bags mutually benefitted twentieth-century consumers and businesses. With forty-one works from patterns to garments, it serves as an example of past ingenuity that can inform today’s efforts towards sustainability.
