Ubuntu—I am Because We Are: The
African term ubuntu, which means
humanity towards others in Nguni-
Bantu, serves as the cornerstone for
visiting artist Tijay Mohammed’s
art project, which is inspired by his
mother. Anchored in West African cultural
traditions, the project focuses
attention on our connections to migration
and creates a gathering space
for celebration of all. Primarily using
African wax fabric and incorporating
other assorted materials and objects,
participants create mixed-media portraits
in tribute to loved ones—and as
a celebration of ourselves. Free, and
admission to the grounds is free until
noon.
