An Evening with Saya Woolfalk

Join artist Saya Woolfalk for an evening tour of her retrospective exhibition Saya Woolfalk: Empathic Universe. Step into Woolfalk’s world as she walks you through her exhibition, offering an in-depth look into her creative process.

The first retrospective of the artist’s two decades of world-building installations, the exhibition showcases Woolfalk’s ambitious fictional narrative of an imagined race of women known as “Empathics.” Woolfalk has created for the Empathics’ their own distinctive visual imagery, symbolism, and folklore, which reflect her investigations of African, African American, Japanese, European, and Brazilian art, craft, and storytelling. In this parable told through garment-based sculptures, video, paintings, works on paper, and performances, cultures mix, clash, and are ultimately transformed through shared understanding.
