In celebration of Douriean Fletcher: Jewelry of the Afrofuture, return to Wakanda for a free community screening of Marvel Studios’ Black Panther. Take part in a superhero mask decorating activity and visit the exhibition to see jewelry and costumes from the films on display in our galleries before you see them on the big screen in the Academy Award-winning film.
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.
