In the Fold

Jan 17 to 25 | Grant Street Studios

Opening reception | Jan 17 | 6 to 9 p.m.

In the Fold is a solo 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 the place where we gather to keep stories and carry them out with us into the world. This exhibition is an invitation to experience the plurality of this glossary as language, memory and culture.

In the Fold opens January 17, 2025, from 6 - 9 p.m. at ASU Grant Street Studios - 605 E Grant St. #699 Phoenix, AZ 85004.
