Fight and Flight: Crafting a Bay Area Life with Adia Millett |
|
Museum of Craft and Design, San Francisco, CA April 15 - September 10, 2023 |
|
Adia Millett is included in Fight and Flight: Crafting a Bay Area Life, opening tomorrow at San Francisco's Museum of Craft and Design. Fight and Flight is a timely examination of the Bay Area arts ecosystem, featuring the work of 23 artists who, despite the many crises of our times, continue to live and work here. Their works reveal a narrative of the struggle of living and working in an untenable city—from the joy of finding chosen communities and families, to the loss of affordable housing and studio space.
The exhibition is curated by Jacqueline Francis and Ariel Zaccheo, and primarily features African American, Latinx, LGBTQIA+, and AAPI artists. The selected artists work across a multitude of craft mediums and processes, interrogating the totality of what “craft” can encompass: from textiles and ceramics to installations, graphite on paper, sound, and the written word.
