Lyra’s presence extends the long-term collaborative relationship and dialogue between the two artists.

ArtVenture: Textile Narratives with Corinn Bleck and Jaiz Boyd

How do materials exemplify different socio-cultural meanings and values? How are our cultures and identities expressed through pattern and self-styling? Inspired by the textile works of Derrick Adams in Packaged Black: Derrick Adams and Barbara Earl Thomas, designers Corinn Bleck and Jáiz Boyd will guide ArtVentures participants to create visual narratives of identity through the use of pattern and different combinations of textiles. Jaiz and Corinn will engage participants in hands-on activities, sewing tutorials, and discussions on the history of sewing and sustainable textile practices.

Re/frame: Childhood

Childhood is idyllic and brutal; it passes quickly but can feel never-ending. Experiences of childhood vary significantly according to one’s family situation and culture, and expectations of children and their formative years have changed significantly over time. Join us to see how some of the artists in the Henry’s collection have represented children and childhood. Re/frame is a recurring program that delves into the Henry's extensive collection, highlighting a different group of objects each month. Join us for group discussions and the opportunity to see art rarely on public view.
