Join us for the opening of AMUM's upcoming exhibition "Unraveled" taking place on Saturday, April 5th from 4-6 p.m. This exhibition, curated by U of M's Fashion and Design professor Jayla Slater, is a group exhibition centered on Black women who use textiles as a means of storytelling. Each of the artists featured in the show use textiles in a dynamic and engaging way that captures the versatile way that textiles can be manipulated. This exhibition will be on display from April 5 - August 15th.

“Windows on Africa” offers a glimpse into the visual expressions that have shaped, and continue to shape, African societies. At its core, African art embodies innovation and interpretation, reflecting a deep connection to spirituality, community, and the environment. Drawing from its expansive collection of traditional African artworks, AMUM invites you to explore the depth and diversity of African visual arts through five major thematic exhibitions: Architecture, Daily Life, Spirituality, Metal Arts and Masquerade. Embark on a journey to discover the stories and significance of Africa's rich artistic heritage.
