In the Fold (Extended)

"In the Fold" is a solo MFA thesis exhibition by artist Wabwila Mugala, through the combined process of printmaking and design, she has developed a visual glossary based on the chitenge (African wax fabric). Inspired by her return to Zambia, it is informed by the ways knowledge is transmitted through textiles, symbols and storytelling. The fold is grandmother's stoop, the marketplace, church, the local bar. It is the place where we gather to keep stories and carry them out with us into the world.

Exhibition extended through Saturday, February 8, 2025. Additional gallery hours during the "Reclaiming Red" opening reception at Northlight Gallery, Friday, February 7, from 6 to 9 p.m.
