MetFridays: Paper Power
Friday, February 19, 6:30–8:30 p.m.
Celebrate the African diaspora and cultural ambiguities through an exciting participatory installation with Dominican-Haitian artist Firelei Báez. Guests can contribute to a collaborative installation and see it grow as Báez makes works of art on paper directly inspired by visitors.
Firelei Báez makes large-scale, intricate works on paper that are intrinsically indebted to a rigorous studio practice. Through a convergence of interest in anthropology, science fiction, black female subjectivity, and women's work, her art explores the humor and fantasy involved in self-making within diasporic societies.
Báez was born in 1981 and immigrated to the United States at the age of nine. She currently lives and works in New York. |
