Scott (b. 1948), beginning with an overview of the artist's 50-year career--an interconnected, community-generating practice that embraces performance art, beaded necklaces and sculptures, wall hangings, and prints. Interviews with the artist by Leslie King Hammond and Valerie Cassel Oliver focus on Scott's matrilineage and womanist ethos and on the genre-defying choreography of her career across disciplines. Six thematic essays by established and emerging scholars discuss the ancient and global reach of beads, including Yorùbá traditions; consider the utility of satire and performance in connection with the work of emerging Black artists; and explore the significance of geography, history, and place. Excerpts from foundational out-of-print texts and an illustrated chronology annotated by Scott appear alongside contributions by artists Sonya Clark, Oletha DeVane, Jeffrey Gibson, Kay Lawal-Muhammad, Malcolm Peacock, and William C. Rhodes III. Scott makes difficult subjects intimately felt, confronting histories of trauma through wearable art and exquisite sculpture. With humor and pathos, she twists menacing stereotypes into grotesque and tender retorts that spur conversation, making art a vehicle for learning, reflection, and healing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Distributed for the Seattle Art Museum and Baltimore Museum of Art \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eBaltimore Museum of Art\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (March 24-July 14, 2024) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeattle Art Museum\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (October 17, 2024-January 20, 2025)\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatharina Manchanda\u003c\/b\u003e is Jon and Mary Shirley Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Seattle Art Museum. \u003cb\u003eCecilia Wichmann\u003c\/b\u003e is associate curator of contemporary art at the Baltimore Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.94 x 11.26 x 9.61 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 14, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53550560051507,"sku":"9780300276206","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/s3xxpj-vy.myshopify.com\/products\/joyce-j-scott-walk-a-mile-in-my-dreams-hardcover","provider":"The Celestial Starlit Phoenix ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
