On view through September 27, Nyuso: A Celebration of African Artistry and Afrofuturism is a personal exploration of identity, memory, and cultural pride through abstract interpretations of traditional African masks. As a fiber artist deeply connected to Black and African heritage, Moraa Nyaribo uses materials that hold both personal and cultural significance—synthetic hair, beads, hair accessories, and cowrie shells—while also experimenting with ceramics, batik, hand painting, and found objects.
“These masks live both as standalone art pieces and as elements in live performance, inviting viewers into layered conversations about transformation, lineage, and belonging,” she says. “Through Nyuso, I aim to honor ancestral practices while imagining new futures rooted in care, beauty, and resistance.”
The gallery is open for viewing on Saturdays from noon to 4 p.m.
