Join AJF for a conversation on Douriean Fletcher: Jewelry of the Afrofuture, the first major museum exhibition dedicated to the artist who designed the jewelry for Marvel Studios’ Black Panther film franchise. Organized by the Museum of Arts and Design (New York City), where it was co-curated by the Museum’s Barbara Paris Gifford and Sebastian Grant (independent curator and professor at Parsons School of Design, New York City), the exhibition presents Fletcher’s jewelry as powerful storytelling, exploring Black identity, spirituality, and Afrofuturist imagination.
The exhibition travels to the Walters Art Museum (Baltimore, Maryland) in April 2026, where it will be on view until August 2026. In addition to Fletcher herself, Gifford and Grant are joined by Dr. Christine Sciacca and Chandi Kelley of the Walters to discuss the curatorial vision and what it means for this artist’s work to move across institutions.
