This exhibition of 21 vintage photographs drawn from the museum’s collection of works by Ruth Orkin (b. 1921, Boston; d. 1985, New York City), explores women’s lives in the mid-20th century.

Remix showcases collection favorites as well as never-before-exhibited recent acquisitions. Artworks are grouped around themes that resonate among artists across time, including photography, fibre works, the colours red and purple, nature, domesticity, and more. 

Through her photography-based art, Tawny Chatmon (b. 1979, Tokyo, Japan) addresses racist myths and elevates cultural truths. She centers and celebrates Black childhood and family bonds while also recontextualizing dehumanizing dolls, figurines, and food histories.
