We will post the rescheduled date shortly. Please check back soon. \nJoin us for an evening of creativity\, healing\, and writing with The Body as a Garden workshop led by Enoch the Poet. Enoch’s workshops conceptualize the body as various environments in order to identify and deepen our understanding of self\, our connection to our body\, and the information they are trying to communicate with us daily.

His goal is to create written works\, curricula\, and platforms that deepen our emotional understanding and its cyclical relation to the conditions acting on the Black mind\, body\, and spirit. Enoch is the 2017 Philadelphia Fuze Grand Slam Champion and the author of two poetry collections\, The Guide to Drowning\, released in 2017\, and Burned at the Roots\, released in 2020. \nEnoch operates as the Executive Publisher and Founder of Black Minds Publishing\, LLC\, a national publications platform centered around the personal and professional growth of artists and creatives of the Black diaspora. \nThe Museum for Art in Wood interprets\, nurtures\, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art\, craft\, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it.  \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:First Friday: The Mashrabiya Project
DESCRIPTION:First Firday: The Mashrabiya Project | Fri. Arpil 7\, 2023 | 5:00 – 8 pm EDT | In-person Event\nWalk-ins Welcome \nJoin us for First Friday and experience The Mashrabiya Project! \n\nThe Mashrabiya Project is a community-focused\, shared experience that links the heritage of the mashrabiya\, a screening element with ancient origins\, to responses in art and design that reflect considerations of space and seeing in contemporary life. The Project—the first in the U.S. to examine the mashrabiya as both an architectural object and a locus of metaphor—presents an opportunity for dialogue and connection across cultural and geographic borders.

SUMMARY:The Mashrabiya Project – Seeing Through Space Artist Talk: Susan Hefuna
DESCRIPTION:The Mashrabiya Project – Seeing Through Space Artist Talk: Susan Hefuna | Wed. March 22\, 2023 | 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT | LIVE on ZOOM\nClick HERE to RSVP\nThe Museum for Art in Wood is proud to present a series of free virtual lectures with artists featured in the upcoming exhibition Seeing Through Space\, opening March 3\, 2023\, and running through July 23\, 2023. This series is meant to connect the public with the artists and engage in thoughtful discussions about mashrabiya in the context of architecture\, art\, craft\, and community. Our second lecture will feature artist Susan Hefuna. \n  \nPortrait of Susan Hefuna in the Studio. Courtesy of the Artist and The Third Line \nSusan Hefuna was born in Germany and grew up in Egypt. In 1992\, she completed a postgraduate degree in multimedia arts at the Institut für Neue Medien\, Städelschule\, Frankfurt. She lives and works in Cairo\, Düsseldorf\, and New York. In drawings\, installations\, performances\, photographs\, sculptures\, and videos\, she draws on her mixed heritage to ponder the intersection of location and identity. For over 30 years Hefuna has been fascinated by the mashrabiya and has brought their gridded geometries into her work; initially inspired by her connecting the gridded streets of New York City and modern urban architecture with mashrabiya matrices and their complex latticework\, she began using them as a way to speak through her work\, often weaving text–in English and in Arabic–into her handmade\, wooden\, window-scaled screened wall works. Hefuna continues to explore the power of the mashrabiya to discuss women’s experiences\, the invasiveness of the gaze\, and cultural boundaries in her work. She has exhibited internationally and her work is held by many public institutions\, including the Guggenheim Museum\, the Museum of Modern Art\, LACMA\, the Sharjah Art Museum and Foundation\, the Art Institute of Chicago\, the V&A\, and Centre Pompidou\, among others. \nThis event is free to the public. The Museum for Art in Wood interprets\, nurtures\, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art\, craft\, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year. \nDONATE \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk for The Mashrabiya Project: Seeing Through Space
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Talk for The Mashrabiya Project: Seeing Through Space | Sat. March 4\, 2023 | 10:00 Am EST | In-person Event\nClick HERE to RSVP \nJoin us for a gallery talk with artists from The Mashrabiya Project: Seeing Through Space\, a multidisciplinary exhibition that interprets the societal and cultural concepts evoked by the mashrabiya\, featuring never-before-seen commissioned works by 6 women-identifying artists from the Muslim world. Their works\, exhibited in the Museum’s main gallery\, will speak through the many languages of the mashrabiya\, evoking the metaphors and stories found in its elemental forms. The Seeing through Space artists are: Anila Quayyum Agha\, Nidaa Badwan\, Susan Hefuna\, Nadia Kaabi-Linke\, Majida Khattari\, and Hoda Tawakol. \nGallery Talk Artists: \nAnila Quayyum Agha (b. Lahore\, Pakistan) received her BFA from the National College of Arts\, Lahore and an MFA from the University of North Texas. Major solo shows include the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth\, TX; Columbia Art Museum in South Carolina; Peabody Essex Museum in Salem\, MA\, National Sculpture Museum in Valladolid\, Spain\, The Dallas Contemporary Art Museum\, Cincinnati Art Museum\, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Jacksonville\, FL. Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa\, North Carolina Art Museum in Raleigh\, and the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio. For the 2019 Venice Biennial\, Agha was included in a collateral event\, She Persists\, with 22 contemporary feminist artists. Agha has received the Efroymson Art Fellowship\, Cincinnati Art Museum’s 2017 Schiele Prize\, the DeHaan Artist of Distinction Award twice (2018 & 2021) and the Joan Mitchell Painters and Sculptors award in 2019. Agha’s 2014 ArtPrize entry\, titled “Intersections\,” earned the Public Vote Grand Prize and split the Juried Grand Prize in Grand Rapids\, Michigan. She is the recipient of numerous grants from Indiana University\, like the New Frontiers Exploratory grant. For her creative research\, Agha was awarded the highest research honor by Indiana University in 2016\, titled Glenn W. Irwin Research Scholar Award. In 2020\, Agha received an Endowed Chair position titled Morris Eminent Scholar in Art at Augusta University in Georgia\, as well as the prestigious Smithsonian Fellowship in the arts for 2021\, and worked with both SAAM and AAA in Washington DC in May 2022. Her work has been collected by both institutions and private collectors\, nationally and internationally. \nAgha works in a cross-disciplinary fashion with mixed media\, creating artwork that explores global and environmental politics\, cultural multiplicity\, and social and gender roles in our current cultural and global scenario. As a result\, her artwork is conceptually challenging\, producing complicated weaves of thought\, artistic action\, and social experience.\nSeeing through Space series talk\, November\, 2022: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZCKZZHCyLA&t=42s\nPortrait of Anila Quayyum Agha by Badri \nNadia Kaabi-Linke was born Tunis\, Tunisia\, in 1978\, and raised in Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates. She graduated from the University of Fine Arts\, Tunis\, in 1999\, and earned a Ph.D. at Université Paris-Sorbonne\, in 2008. Growing up between Tunis\, Kyiv\, and Dubai\, and now residing in Berlin\, Kaabi-Linke has a personal history of migration across cultures and borders that has greatly influenced her work. Her works give physical presence to that which tends to remain invisible\, be it people\, structures\, or the geopolitical forces that shape them. \n  \nMajida Khattari is a Moroccan visual artist and photographer. She first studied at the School of Fine Arts in Casablanca\, before moving to Paris in 1988. Initially she studied photography\, working in black and white to create portraits of her subjects veiled in muslin. This led Khattari to focus her work on the question of women’s head coverings in public schools; from there she began to work directly with the subject of clothing and the female body. Her sculptural garments\, inspired by burkas\, niqabs\, hijabs\, and safseris\, address the confinement of women’s bodies in contemporary Islam; the garments are worn during performances that take on the spectacle of fashion shows. In her exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in July 2001\, Khattari denounced the oppression endured by Afghan women under the Taliban regime. \n  \n  \nBorn in London and raised primarily in Paris\, Hoda Tawakol is a Franco-Egyptian artist who currently lives and works in Hamburg\, Germany. She graduated in 2011 from University of Fine Arts (HfbK) in Hamburg. Tawakol’s broad practice encompasses hand-dyed and sewn textile pieces\, mixed media sculptures\, and installations interweaving textures\, grids\, and lattices. Her approach to contemporary textile art is deeply rooted in the feminist movement of the 1970s that revived the medium as a critical and discursive practice embedded in the history of women’s knowledge and labor. In her work\, she attempts to deconstruct symbols and archetypes that beset female agency. Her Mashrabiya series\, part of a larger series titled Idolatry that disrupts the grid\, is an example of this preoccupation. Through the variety and compositional complexity of her aesthetic interventions\, Tawakol touches on the boundary between the extreme figuration of personal identities and their dissolution\, even to the point of disintegration. In taking up such forms in her series of aquarelles\, Tawakol is interested in relating formal aesthetic concerns to societal issues\, especially to those of a gender-specific nature. For her participation in The Mashrabiya Project\, Tawakol will continue her research of these concepts.\nSeeing through Space series talk\, October 13\, 2022: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dh27jNDv3I&t=24s\nPortrait of HodaTawakol by Helge Mundt \n  \nThis event is free to the public. The Museum for Art in Wood interprets\, nurtures\, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art\, craft\, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year. \nDONATE \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: The Mashrabiya Project
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: The Mashrabiya Project | Fri. March 3\, 2023 | 5:00 – 8 pm EST | In-person Event\nWalk-ins Welcome \nJoin us for First Friday and the opening of The Mashrabiya Project! \n\nThe Mashrabiya Project is a community-focused\, shared experience that links the heritage of the mashrabiya\, a screening element with ancient origins\, to responses in art and design that reflect considerations of space and seeing in contemporary life. The Project—the first in the U.S. to examine the mashrabiya as both an architectural object and a locus of metaphor—presents an opportunity for dialogue and connection across cultural and geographic borders. With its artful geometry and elaborate perforated designs\, the mashrabiya became a defining element of Islamic visual culture and ornament. The mashrabiya of North Africa—fabricated of wood\, which can expand and contract in response to the region’s intense climate—are found in residential and sacred spaces alike. Comprised of thousands of simple\, individually lathe-turned components\, they are assembled without glue or fasteners to create large\, scalable elements and furnishings that are complex and ornate in design. These serve many functions\, from permitting screening and ventilation\, to delineating spaces for public and private life\, to separating male and female members of a household in accordance with purity laws. Bountiful in metaphorical evocations\, particularly circulating around dualities of public and private; subject and viewer; denial and reclamation of space; and the porosity of boundaries\, the mashrabiya is an enduring symbol both of Islam’s cultural heritage and of the perpetually evolving nature of religion in society. \nThe Project will comprise a number of programs circulating around the creation of a wood-turned mashrabiya in the Museum’s public space. Regardless of woodturning experience or skill\, visitors will be able to participate in the making of a mashrabiya\, using regional wood types. \nA multidisciplinary exhibition titled Seeing through Space will interpret the societal and cultural concepts evoked by the mashrabiya\, featuring never-before-seen commissioned works by 6 women-identifying artists from the Muslim world. Their works\, exhibited in the Museum’s main gallery\, will speak through the many languages of the mashrabiya\, evoking the metaphors and stories found in its elemental forms. The Seeing through Space artists are: Anila Quayyum Agha\, Nidaa Badwan\, Susan Hefuna\, Nadia Kaabi-Linke\, Majida Khattari\, and Hoda Tawakol. \nThe Mashrabiya Project evokes the Museum’s origins as a nexus for wood turning and a space for communal practice. As such\, it reaches across space and time to embody our mission to interpret\, nurture\, and champion creative engagement\, honoring the Museum’s first makers while creating new dialogues between new audiences\, and across continents\, toward global engagement and understanding. The mashrabiya provides a viewpoint\, from one space to another; likewise\, The Mashrabiya Project links spaces and cultures framed by discussions of architecture\, art\, craft\, and community. \n\n\n  \nRead The Mashrabiya Project Blog to learn more!  \n\n\n  \n  \nThe Mashrabiya Project has been supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage. \n  \n\nSpecial thanks go to:\nBresler Foundation\nRockler Tools for in-kind support \nThe exhibition program at the Museum is generously supported by members of the Cambium Giving Society of the Museum for Art in Wood\, the Bresler Foundation\, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts\, Philadelphia Cultural Fund\, William Penn Foundation\, and Windgate Foundation. \nCorporate support is provided by Boomerang\, Inc.\, and Sun-Lite Corporation.

Imbued with heart and soul\, her action-oriented form of art is a union of traditional technique\, ingenuity\, and talent that is rooted in a conscious effort to create lasting positive change. Carpenter’s work can be found internationally in both private and public collections and has been exhibited most notably at the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, Michener Art Museum\, Wharton Esherick Museum\, Fuller Craft Museum\, Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum\, DeVos Art Museum\, Philadelphia International Airport\, SOFA Chicago\, Design Miami and Moderne Gallery where she is currently represented.

She began this work after purchasing her home in Philadelphia\, where she began gardening\, following in the footsteps of her mother\, Ernestine Carpenter\, and her grandmother\, Indiana Hutson. Both women were master gardeners.   Subsequent to teaching\, she is developing projects in landscape design in addition to producing sculptures.  Awards include a United States Artist Fellowship\, Anonymous Was a Woman Fellowship\, Pew Fellowship in the Arts\, Multiple Leeway Foundation Fellowships\, National Endowment for the Arts\, the Peggy Chan Endowed Professorship of Black Studies\, The James A.

With thoughtful craftsmanship and attention to tactile experience\, she creates jewelry and objects informed by the visual qualities of the natural world. She is interested in the way humans physically interact with precious and everyday objects—the way these interactions affect both the person and the object. Through her work as a teaching artist and curator\, she strives to uplift the jewelry and craft communities through inclusion\, education\, and enthusiasm. Kate’s work is made by hand from recycled and responsibly sourced materials. \nKate is a member of Ethical Metalsmiths and earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Jewelry and Metalsmithing from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2015. Her work was included in The Metal Museum’s exhibition 40 Under 40: The Next Generation Of American Metal Artists in 2019\, the Philadelphia Museum of Art Fine Craft Show (2020-2022)\, and the Smithsonian Women’s Committee’s inaugural Craft Optimism in 2021\, among other exhibitions. She recently completed an artist residency at Penland School of Craft. \n\n\n\n\n  \nJason McDonald is an artist working primarily in glass. Currently\, he lives in Philadelphia\, where he is pursuing an MFA degree at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture. He was introduced to furnace glassblowing at the age of 14 through the Hilltop Artists program in his hometown of Tacoma\, Washington. Jason credits this program for exposing him to glass\, a material that has held his attention and opened up a world of new possibilities. Jason has spent the majority of his career focusing on traditional Venetian furnace techniques\, including goblets and pattern making. He uses glass to talk about a range of issues like the barriers BIPOC people face in accessing creative spaces and the wild joy of chasing technical pursuits. He is passionate about sharing his love of the material as well as the process of glassblowing. His ambitions include building a home studio where he can invite a diverse group of people to come play at the furnace\, with an impractically large garden just outside the workshop door. \n  \nThis event is free to the public. The Museum for Art in Wood interprets\, nurtures\, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art\, craft\, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year. \nDONATE \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Vessels: A Conversation about What We Hold in Objects and Life
DESCRIPTION:Vessels: A Conversation about What We Hold in Objects and Life | Sun. Jan. 15\, 2023 | 1:00 pm ET | In-person Event\nClick HERE to RSVP to this free in-person event \nWhen you think of a vessel\, what comes to mind? The answers are varied and more complex. Vessels take many forms: a ceramic cup full of tea to warm your spirit and body\, the wooden form that sits on a pedestal in a gallery\, the human body that grows and nurtures life\, and a sacred space filled with care and love that deepens connections. Vessels are an integral part of life\, each different\, each purposeful\, and yet unassuming. Join Alison Croney Moses and Bintu Conté as they delve into the manifestation and undercurrents of vessels in their lives and communities. \nImage above: Alison Croney Moses\, What We Hold\, 2022. Photo by Michelle Davidson\, Shapiro Photography.\n\n  \n\nPortrait for Alison Croney Moses by Tyahra Angus \nAlison Croney Moses creates wooden objects that reach out to your senses—the smell of cedar\, the color of honey or the deep blue sea\, the round form that signifies safety and warmth\, the gentle curve that beckons to be touched. Her work is in the collections at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. She is a recent recipient of the 2022 USA Fellowship in Craft and has been featured in American Craft Magazine. \nShe has worked over the past 15 years in alternative education settings to build out education programs that center the communities in which they take place. She is currently the Associate Director at the Eliot School of Fine & Applied Arts\, where she founded the Teen Bridge and Artist in Residence programs to help cultivate the current and next generation of artists and leaders in art and craft. She holds an MA in Sustainable Business & Communities from Goddard College\, and a BFA in Furniture Design from Rhode Island School of Design. \n  \nSelf-portrait by the Artist \nBintu Conté is born of the Mende and Maninka tribes of West Africa. Her roots and experience shape her 20+ years as a movement artist and trainer. She creates and holds sacred space on individual\, community\, and organizational levels to build [BCH1] shared connectivity. In her work\, she centers on Traditional West African and Black Dance movements\, cypher processes\, and other somatic practices to support the cultivation of awareness\, healing\, and community wellness. \nAs an artist\, Conté has partnered and collaborated with culture keepers nationally and internationally\, and she most recently served as a teaching artist at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee. She is also the co-founder of the Racines Black Dance Festival- Black Dance Boston and the founder of JAARA\, a non-profit dedicated to the preservation\, visibility\, and advancement of Afro-Diaspora arts and culture. Outside of her art\, Conté has 15+ years as a racial equity capacity builder with a variety of organizations based in the San Francisco and Boston areas. \n  \nThis event is free to the public. The Center for Art in Wood interprets\, nurtures\, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art\, craft\, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year. \nDONATE \nQuestions?
