New York-based artist Ilana Harris-Babou will give a walkthrough in conjunction with her exhibition, “Golden Thread.”
In conjunction with Art Walk, New York-based artist Ilana Harris-Babou will give a walkthrough of her exhibition, Golden Thread at 6pm on Friday, February 2. Golden Thread comprises video and sculpture that weaves intimate personal narratives, archival, and historical references to breastfeeding with the artist’s customary visual acumen that calls attention to both the empowering and challenging experiences of Black motherhood.

Her work has been exhibited in solo exhibitions throughout the US and Europe, including current exhibitions Needy Machines at Candice Madey, New York, and Under My Feet at Storefront for Art and Architecture.

Institutions include: The Highline, NY (2022), Artspace, New Haven, CT (2022); Kunsthaus Hamburg, Germany (2021); ICA Chattanooga, TN (2021); and The Museum of Arts and Design, NY (2017).
