Artist(s)

Douriean Fletcher
Crafted from brass, gold, and semi precious stones, this exhibition examines Douriean Fletcher’s sculptural jewelry as an expression of Black identity and spiritual meaning. It traces how Afrofuturist ideas take material form through her research into African and African American adornment and her efforts to connect diasporic histories. Featuring 75 works, the exhibition follows Fletcher’s development from self taught metalsmith to an influential designer whose jewelry has shaped visual culture, including contemporary cinema.
