SOLD OUT: Fabiola Jean-Louis: Waters of the Abyss

Join MA-NMWA for an opening week tour of an exhibition by Fabiola Jean-Louis: Waters of the Abyss, led by Pieranna Cavalchini, Tom and Lisa Blumenthal Curator of Contemporary Art at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Multi-disciplinary artist Jean-Louis takes viewers on a journey through the ancient and eternal, earthly and divine, personal and political. The exhibition features a number of original commissions from the artist, crafted from the delicate marriage of media, including paper pulp, mineral stones, shells, metals, glass and more. Jean-Louis also invokes the sanctity of Vodou and its role in Haitian liberation.

Fabiola Jean-Louis was born in Haiti and moved as a child to Brooklyn, NY, where she is currently based. She studied at the School of Fashion Industries in New York, and the Art Institute of Pittsburg. Jean-Louis has been awarded residencies at the Museum of Art and Design (MAD) in New York, and at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
