For thirty years, multidisciplinary artist Sonya Clark has focused her work on the African diaspora in the United States to confront, elucidate, and reframe its history. She undertakes this exploration by using everyday fiber materials—most notably hair, flags and found fabric. In her work, craft and community are intertwined; her participatory projects promote new collective encounters across racial, gender, and socioeconomic divisions. 

We Are Each Other is a major traveling exhibition focused on the artist’s community-centric and participatory projects.

Through her work, Clark asks us to consider such questions as, “How do we address and challenge our shared colonial past, and how do we hold ourselves accountable for and claim agency in what happens next in the future of our society?” We Are Each Other is both a declaration and an invitation, a battle cry and an embrace.

Our 2024 Programs will kick off with a private tour of We Are Each Other with Curator of Decorative Arts and Design, Monica Obniski. Monica co-organized this important exhibition along with other curators from Detroit's Cranbrook Art Museum and the Museum of Arts and Design NYC.
