The BLACK Domestic | Living Room is a place family gathers to engage cultural enrichment through conversations + literature. Utilizing memory, word, and material object, Wright's work aims to bridge the gap between the ancestral, traditional, and regenerated lives of African Americans who have been a part of the Great Migration.The BLACK Domestic Living Roomscape - Game Time, an interactive installation curated by Guest Artist | Schetauna Powell. The BLACK Domestic | Living Room is a place family gathers to engage in play + performance together. In Black culture, an object exists because we came together to create it. New Black cultural objects are created when we explore the relationships that comprise our communities of resistance. We create new objects so that we may invite others to build relationships with us through play and possibility.</p><p>Finite Games are defined as games that have a definite end and beginning, whereas Infinite Games continue on indefinitely. This installation places the semiotics of pattern design in African American quilts created by the African Diaspora as an infinite game that plays on memory-making, navigation, and structural organization. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity for an immersive experience exploring the history of play in The BLACK Domestic Living Rooms.</p>
