The Art of Protection Program Description (from the ICA website)
Join us on Saturday, October 19th, for a day-long program in celebration of ICA’s current installation, Entryways: Nonstikelelo Mututi. Designed by artist and designer Nonstikelelo Mutiti, this installation and her work explore concepts of beauty, labor, and protection while highlighting the relationship between modern design and its roots in African diasporic visual culture.

This multi-part program celebrates the work of Black artists and practitioners in Philadelphia, whose practices center on themes of protection, self-care, resilience, beauty, and public art. Expect pop-up presentations from Black artists and designers, hands-on workshops, and a curated marketplace full of unique finds. Food, drinks, and music are on the house!
