The first retrospective of the artist’s two decades of world-building installations, the exhibition showcases Woolfalk’s ambitious fictional narrative of an imagined race of women known as “Empathics.” Woolfalk has created for the Empathics’ their own distinctive visual imagery, symbolism, and folklore, which reflect her investigations of African, African American, Japanese, European, and Brazilian art, craft, and storytelling. In this parable told through garment-based sculptures, video, paintings, works on paper, and performances, cultures mix, clash, and are ultimately transformed through shared understanding.

Egg Collective hosts “Knock on Wood”, an exhibition focused on artists whose process is intertwined with wood. Playing on themes of luck, while also exploring the idea of material kinship, the exhibition will highlight the reciprocal relationship between makers and their materials.
