The Storyteller’s Granddaughtxr:
(Re)Envisioning Methodologies for Healing and Liberation

Exhibit Open: April 4–May 15, 2022

The Storyteller's Granddaughtxr: (Re)Envisioning Methodologies for Healing and Liberation is an exhibition created by Liv Furman.

An image of the multimedia artwork of Liv Furman, featuring a clay, terracotta face partially submerged in what appears to be water or resin, surrounded by multi-colored shards of mosaic pieces.

Statement by the artist:

This exhibition is the culmination of my interdisciplinary auto-ethnographic dissertation study, within which I utilize Black feminist-womanist storytelling methodology (Baker-Bell, 2017) and Black womxn's literacies of critical self-reflection, art-making, and Afrofuturist dreaming to articulate my own Black womxn's standpoint (Collins, 2002). This collection is an inquiry, a piecing together of quilting, collage, speculative fiction, my story, and the intergenerational stories of other Black womxn and femmes to consider the ways our ancestors, identities, and embodied knowledges inform our method(ologie)s of sustainability, healing, and liberation.
