In A Movement in Every Direction: Legacies of the Great Migration, twelve contemporary artists consider what the Great Migration means to them personally and culturally. After seeing some of these artists' works, build a personal archival tapestry using photographs, prints, sketches, and a range of found materials collaged and appliquéd onto indigo-dyed canvas. Tell your story while unpacking the migratory history of indigo as a plant and an ancestral bridge. Families are encouraged to bring copies of family photos and other personally meaningful images to use as elements in their artwork. General images from historians and artists related to the Great Migration are also provided.

Workshop is led by Janaé "Jaee" Sumter. Each of these two-part workshops integrates an interactive gallery tour with a related art project; each session lasts about an hour and a half. Sign up in the Art Lab ten minutes ahead of the session, in time to join us for the tour that starts at 11:30
