AJF Dwell: Douriean Fletcher: Jewellery of the Afrofuture—Two Institutional Views

Be a part of AJF for a dialog on Douriean Fletcher: Jewellery of the Afrofuture, the primary main museum exhibition devoted to the artist who designed the jewellery for Marvel Studios’ Black Panther movie franchise. Organized by the Museum of Arts and Design (New York Metropolis), the place it was co-curated by the Museum’s Barbara Paris Gifford and Sebastian Grant (impartial curator and professor at Parsons College of Design, New York Metropolis), the exhibition presents Fletcher’s jewellery as highly effective storytelling, exploring Black identification, spirituality, and Afrofuturist creativeness.

The exhibition travels to the Walters Artwork Museum (Baltimore, Maryland) in April 2026, the place it is going to be on view till August 2026. Along with Fletcher herself, Gifford and Grant are joined by Dr. Christine Sciacca and Chandi Kelley of the Walters to debate the curatorial imaginative and prescient and what it means for this artist’s work to maneuver throughout establishments.

The opinions said right here don’t essentially categorical these of AJF.
