Blue Is Magic!
Blue Magic is a sonic and textile environment exploring the deep histories of the color blue.
. . . Drawing from American quilting practice, oral storytelling, sound, and her own family history as a Nigerian-American, the artist will activate both sonically and visually the textiles included in the exhibition showcased at the museum.
.
This one-day-only live program is conceived and performed by Alexandria Eregbu.

16: Protected content
In conversation with Dr Chelsea Frazier, Eregbu guides us through the conception of Blue Magic, discussing how her textile and sound installation responds to the exhibition An Ecology of Quilts: The Natural History of American Textiles with an eco-critical and Black feminist lens on the Museum’s textile collection.
18: Protected content — Evening Ritual & Closing Performance
Using the quilts on view and their material ecologies as a tactile feedback loop, the artist performs an original composition of field recordings, sampled media, and folk music, pulling visitors into a space resonant with pulses and memories.
We can decide when there if we wish to stay for the second part of the program or prefer to grab "a something" at Le Pain Quotidien around the corner from the museum.
