  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.

  Join MA-NMWA for a tour of June Leaf: Shooting form the Heart, a major exhibition devoted to the artist June Leaf (1929–2024), whose enigmatic, beguiling, and often irreverent work is both endlessly experimental and uncategorizable. Drawing from the artist’s vast archive along with loans from select private and institutional collections, June Leaf: Shooting from the Heart will consider the breadth of Leaf’s 75-year career. Arranged thematically, it will be the most comprehensive exhibition of the artist’s work in more than three decades. Leaf’s enchanting and provocative sculptures, both kinetic and stationary, paintings, and works on paper will be intermingled and placed in dynamic conversations across media, revealing the artist’s sustained engagement with such motifs and themes as theater and performance, the human drama, dance, gender, motion, urban life, mythology, and interpersonal relationships.
