Kojo Astronaut: An Afrofuturistic Performance by Afro House
Saturday, July 25, 2026, 3–4 p.m.
Location: Auditorium
Registration is required.
Afro House presents a Kojo Astronaut performance in connection with Douriean Fletcher: Jewelry of the Afrofuture. Multi-talented Artistic Director, Scott Patterson, leads soulful operatic vocals and live instrumentation to create a lush, cosmic soundscape that invites audiences to explore love, liberation, and consider the ways in which we navigate our relationship to our planet, solar system and beyond.
Douriean Fletcher: Jewelry of the Afrofuture is dedicated to jewelry artist Douriean Fletcher, whose work has shaped the cinematic worlds of Marvel Studios’ Black Panther films and Coming 2 America. The exhibition explores the self-taught metalsmith’s jewelry as a powerful narrative tool in art, Black identity, and visual storytelling and spotlights works from the Walters collection that inspired the artist. The exhibition is on view from April 18 to August 9 in our Temporary Exhibition Gallery on Level 1.
This exhibition is made possible, in part, by The Betty Cooke and William O. Steinmetz Exhibitions Fund, Guy Flynn and Nupur Parekh Flynn, Judy and Scott Phares, Anthony Evans and Kevin Sowers, Alex Cooper Auctioneers, Jabari Jefferson, Shaquayah McKenzie, Susan Weingast Brown and Thomas Brown, Jesse Salazar and Tom Williams, Mark Anthony Thomas, Travieso & Ziegler, LLC, and other supporters of the Walters Art Museum.
