Weekend Adventures: Creative Africa Exhibit


This weekend was the opening events for Creative Africa at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Enjoy five amazing exhibitions ranging betweecontemporary photography, design, fashion and architecture.We were invited to the press preview to meet with the artists and curators to talk with them about them collections. It was a great experience to talk with them and get a better understanding of what they created and why. As one of the artist put it, they are the cooks and we are here to take in the food.


Look Again: Contemporary Perspectives on African Art





The Architecture of Francis Kéré: Building for Community




Vlisco: African Fashion on a Global Scale



Threads of Tradition



Three Photographers/Six Cities






Since I couldn't possibly pick a favorite exhibit, I want to encourage each and every one of you to visit Creative Africa at thPerelman Building. The Philadelphia Museum of Art will be celebrating all summer long until September 25 with tons of events like live performances, family festivals and talks and tours. Also for the families with little ones Art Splash is back with fun, interactive activities and experiences based around the exhibit.
