Step into the visionary world of Joyce J. Scott, celebrated as one of today’s most prolific and boundary-breaking artists. Best known for her virtuosic use of beads and glass, Scott upends hierarchies of art and craft, captivating audiences with beauty, humor, and a fearless exploration of pressing issues like racism, sexism, environmentalism, and complex family dynamics.

Joyce J. Scott: Walk a Mile in My Dreams features over 150 works from the 1970s to the present, including sculpture, bead work, jewelry, textiles, artwear garments, performance compilations, mixed-media installations, and a new large-scale commission. This summative career retrospective reveals the full breadth of Scott’s utterly unique artistic vision to challenge unequal social roles, confront traumatic histories, and agitate for freedom.

Please note: The artist addresses all aspects of human experience in her work, including racist stereotypes, sexual violence, and the grievous history of lynching.
