what if: show and tell 

July 19th, 4-6pm 

Tacoma Art Museum, Russell Gallery

Join us for a series of show and tell artist workshops in conjunction with our newest exhibition, what if.  This month’s show and tell program will be led by Le’Ecia Farmer. Farmer will lead a discussion with participants, sharing an excerpt from Lo—TEK. Design by Radical Indigenism by Julia Watson, connecting with her bioplastic shoe prototypes. The discussion will explore wearable bio designs that interact with and respond to the environment and /or provide environmental solutions.  
  
After the discussion, Farmer will lead a workshop, where participants will create their own bioplastic inspired by the artist’ work and earlier discussion.      

Materials will be provided.

about what if:

An immersive exhibition that explores the expansiveness of interiority through personal curiosity, as evidenced in Black artists’ visual narratives. This exhibition focuses on the ways the artists remain curious, imaginative, and authentic to self, despite outside perceptions of Black art, highlighting their sources of curiosity through interior monologues that flirt with ideas of time, ritual, tradition, and playful expressions of self and emotion. Through artwork, spaces for convening, and programming, what if invites visitors to be curious and consider how these artists have come to understand themselves and their worlds, away from the stereotyping of Black art, by tending to their curiosities and inner selves.
