In late June 2021, the MFA Boston will unveil the Garden for Boston project, two outdoor installations on the green spaces of the Museum’s main entrance by Roxbury-based artist Ekua Holmes and Aquinnah Wampanoag artist Elizabeth James-Perry. In anticipation of this exciting project, curators from the MFA, including Curatorial Assistant and HAA graduate student Marina Tyquiengco, and community partners have organized a series of three Zoom culminating in a conversation between the artists on Tuesday, June 22, 2021. This series will recognize Boston as a place of Native and Black histories and lived experiences through the expertise of artists, scholars, and thought leaders.
