Quilts and Roger Brown's Indwelling Identity

 ― "Domestic, intrinsic, and diaspora"

This curatorial project navigates through the American artist and collector Roger Brown’s life experiences by focusing on the relationship between him, his collections and his house. Being an enthusiastic artist, painter, and collector, Brown kept a gigantic amount of objects during his life, in which most of them are currently exhibited at the Roger Brown Study Collection. Those collected objects influence, shape, and reflect Brown’s artistic career in a direct way that no other secondary materials could compare. This curatorial dialogue centers on the African American Quilt, establishing a flow through each object.
