An exhibition about the story of fear, hope, and elders in Black families is at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Minnesota-based artist and storyteller Jovan C. Speller created the multi-media installation. It’s called “Nurturing, and Other Rituals of Protection.” It’s a display of her Black familial experience, inspired in part by her grandmothers’ living rooms. The show is her first solo museum exhibition.
