Thompson Gallery: "The Once and Future African Goddess"
Karmimadeebora McMillan — Thompson Gallery Mod 1 Exhibition
Thompson Gallery + Installation Space
This fall, CSW proudly presents The Once and Future African Goddess, an exhibition of new work by Cambridge-based interdisciplinary artist Karmimadeebora McMillan. Working across painting, printmaking, sculpture, animation, installation, and public art, McMillan constructs layered, color-saturated worlds deeply informed by Afrofuturism, African and African American history, myth, and speculative fiction. Her work explores questions of Blackness and fear through stylized figures and highly pigmented color, reimagining visual tropes once meant to marginalize Black communities in order to build new, empowered narratives.
The main exhibition in the Thompson Gallery showcases McMillan’s latest paintings, sculptures, and mixed-media works under the title The Once and Future African Goddess. Across the hall in the Installation Space, visitors are invited into Ms. Merri Mack’s Adventures — a multimedia installation of looping, sound-enhanced animations projected onto two walls.
