Museum of Arts and Design

Joyce J. Scott is one of the most prolific and boundary-breaking artists of our time. This week, follow along as we play a game of Tag with museums across the U.S. to showcase her work and highlight her impact. Get ready to find out #WhereInTheWorldIsJoyce ! To start, we’re showcasing “Mammie Wada,” on view through July 14 in Joyce J. Scott: Walk a Mile in My Dreams. This work is part of a series named for the African diasporic water deity Mami Wata (Mother Water), a figure who symbolizes good fortune, fertility, healing, and the threat of destruction. Her mythology developed between the 15th and 20th centuries through the interaction of Africans and Europeans via the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Powerful and dangerous, Mami Wata combines aspects of capitalist merchants, mermaids, snake charmers, water spirits, and saints. We nominate @madmuseum to post next. Tag, you’re it! 🌈 . 🖼️ “Mammie Wada,” 1981, Joyce J. Scott, Baltimore Museum of Art, Gift of J.B.

I’m ready for Pride weekend! At @madmuseum for the last session of my “Fashioning Pride and Protection” workshop offering tonight and always glad to be greeted by the “Identity Is…” installation of the dazzling 2021 Met Gala garment I designed for the fashion icon @jordan_roth . Now extended till Aug. 4th, MAD’s gorgeous installation includes lobby wall and elevators wallpapered with large scale details from my textile collage work for the garment - always makes me so happy looking at the giant views of the elaborate handwork. 🌈🪩🪡🧵🦚 ❤️⭐️👏~ Sylvan #michaelsylvanrobinson #jordanroth #metgala2021 #madmuseum #voguemagazine #wearableart #contemporaryfiberart #fashionart #queerdreaming #embroidery #textilecollage #artfashion #queerartist #brooklynartist #arthistory #artandgender #urbanfey
