AiB and Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts partner to promote awareness of African art

In May 2019, Africans in Boston (AiB) and the Museum of Fine Art (MFA) partnered in the first event in a series of initiatives to highlight African art. Through this partnership, AiB and the MFA hope to promote awareness of African art and to unite Africans and people of African descent through educational activities.

The MFA’s African Gallery Director, Kathryn Gunsch, provided AiB members with a tour of African artifacts and display features showcasing African artists – including Made Visible, an exhibition exploring contemporary South African fashion and identity.

“Thank you for hosting Africans in Boston this Sunday. The tour was absolutely amazing. Everyone present was extremely grateful for the knowledge shared and care of the artifacts. We are looking forward to other events in the future,” said Nampera Lugira, AiB Events Manager.
