Happy #MothersDay! ❤️

Today, we celebrate the mothers, aunts, grandmothers, sisters, and all the women whose love has shaped our lives. Elizabeth Catlett’s “Danys Y Liethis (Mother and Child),” (2005) embodies this statement through the depiction of tender love from parent to child, highlighting the significance of such a meaningful bond.

The Studio Museum in Harlem extends appreciation to mothering and caregiving in all forms—to those who provide strength, affection, and wisdom to their communities and loved ones.

⁠Learn more about Elizabeth Catlett and this artwork on our website through the link in our bio.

In our “Harlem Inspired” audio series, curator, scholar, educator, and writer Najha Zigbi-Johnson (@_najha_) speaks about the streets of Harlem as sites of gathering and political battlegrounds.

At the Studio Museum in Harlem, visitors can observe the streets in our neighborhood from our project galleries, our Education Workshops, The Stoop, our terrace, and many other levels of our new building.
As you walk down 125th Street to head to the Museum, you are immersed in the everyday life of our local community members moving through their day.

This year’s Studio Museum in Harlem Spring Luncheon filled us with inspiration and joy as we honored civil rights lawyer Sherrilyn Ifill (@sherrilynifill).

Ifill has dedicated her life to advocating for equality and freedom through her work as an educator and her decade-long leadership of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. She is currently the Vernon Jordan Distinguished Professor in Civil Rights at Howard Law School, where she founded the 14th Amendment Center for Law and Democracy.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our community members, who remain dedicated to supporting Black arts, education, and culture through the Luncheon.

Thank you for celebrating with us! ⁠

📸 In “Expanding the Walls: Making Connections Between Photography, History, and Community”, on view through June 8, teen artists document adolescence over the program's twenty-five years of existence.

From Polaroid to film, and now to digital—each photographer presents a distinct visual language shaped by the techniques and technologies of their time. Whether navigating self, family, or community, these young artists use their camera to capture adolescence in all its complexity and clarity.

Learn more about the program from Shanta Lawson, Senior Director of Learning and Engagement, and Ivan Forde (@workdaily), artist and former Expanding the Walls participant.

The conversation celebrates the release of Raiford’s new book, “When Home Is a Photograph: Blackness and Belonging in the World,” published by Duke University Press.

In “When Home Is a Photograph,” Leigh Raiford asks how Black people use photography to make home in the world. Raiford focuses on a selection of Black American activists and artists, including Sadie Barnette, Dawoud Bey, Kathleen Neal Cleaver, Marcus Garvey, Eslanda Goode Robeson, and James Van Der Zee, to explore the complex relationship between racialized subjects and the medium of photography.

“Fade,” the Studio Museum in Harlem’s sixth "F” show, is now on view!

Working amid a turbulent era in US history shaped by widespread social and political change, the seventeen artists in “Fade” embrace spirituality, surrealism, and nonlinear conceptions of time to locate spaces of possibility.

Many of the artists gathered in this exhibition make work informed by a relationship to place, drawing on ancestral lineages and collective stories, and tracing continuities between past and present. Some engage the built environment—architecture, infrastructure, and the land—as a repository for memories. Others center a relationship to the body and spirit, using materials and installation methods that register a presence.

“Fade,” the Studio Museum in Harlem’s sixth "F” show, is now on view!

Working amid a turbulent era in US history shaped by widespread social and political change, the seventeen artists in “Fade” embrace spirituality, surrealism, and nonlinear conceptions of time to locate spaces of possibility.

Many of the artists gathered in this exhibition make work informed by a relationship to place, drawing on ancestral lineages and collective stories, and tracing continuities between past and present. Some engage the built environment—architecture, infrastructure, and the land—as a repository for memories. Others center a relationship to the body and spirit, using materials and installation methods that register a presence.
