Join Camille Bethune-Brown, Mingei Curator for a rich discussion on Beaded African Adornment. Beads are central to the lives of all African people, and an integral part of a multilayered communication system across cultural communities as well as a celebration of cultural heritage.
African Adornment is community art where personal touches are infused in each object. You will come away with a deep understanding of the world around us and our shared experience that unites us all.
This discussion coincides with the Museum's exhibition, COLORFUL CULTURE: AFRICAN BEADS and will take place in Mingei's new Theater. Art Break is Mingei's new monthly lunchtime lecture series focused on folk art, craft and design.
