The Studio Museum in Harlem · Central Harlem
Kapwani Kiwanga: BLEED
On view · Mar 11 – Apr 1
Kapwani Kiwanga's site-specific commission fills the Studio Museum's second-floor project gallery. Taking the "flying geese" quilt pattern, said to have signaled routes along the Underground Railroad, she recreates it in undulating black, blue and red textiles. The dyes come from Atlantic seawater, pokeberries and indigo, each tied to histories of slavery and trade. Because the colors are fugitive, they will shift over time. On view through April 1, 2027.
