🌱Jeffrey Gibson: They Teach Love, From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation, opening September 12, presents the artworks of Jeffrey Gibson (American, b. 1972).

🧵The exhibition’s centerpiece is an expansive and immersive work titled, "To Name An Other" (2019), comprised of 51 screen-printed elk hide drums and 50 wearable garments.

🔎Originally commissioned as a performance by the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, To Name An Other marks a turning point in the artist’s career whereby Gibson has increasingly sought out collective-based projects and performances to activate the communities within which he works.

🤲Collaboration is at the heart of his recent social practice. Working and learning together may aid in decolonizing minds and institutions, revealing a future we wish to inhabit.
