Wandering Spirit: African Wax Prints
A traveling exhibition loaned from the Mid-America Arts Alliance that focused on wax prints that originated in Indonesia, were imitated by Dutch textile makers, and ultimately were marketed to African and other markets around the world. Gifty Afua Benson, a native of Ghana who curated the exhibit, provided written narratives about the various pieces in the exhibit, their history and how they were merchandised.
This is the first exhibition in the Avenir gallery after the museum was re-opened post-COVID closure.
