Heritage, Design, and Culture in the Black Home

Join us in celebrating the release of “Making Home: Belonging, Memory, and Utopia in the 21st Century” with a dynamic conversation featuring artists and designers Robert Earl Paige, Renée Stout, Jomo Tariku, and Hadiya Williams, moderated by Michelle Joan Wilkinson, curator at Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Together, they’ll explore the concept of home through the lens of heritage, culture, and design, sharing how they use art—textiles, altars, tablescapes, and furniture—to reflect refuge, ancestry, and interconnection.

This event highlights the “Making Home – Smithsonian Design Triennial,” a collaboration between Cooper Hewitt and Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, and complements NMAAHC’s “Reclaiming My Time” exhibition.

📚 Signed copies of the book will be available for purchase courtesy of Smithsonian Enterprises.
