SUMMARY:Grand Vision
DESCRIPTION:Visiting artist Olayami Dabls is a storyteller\, curator\, ed
 ucator\, and mentor. He is the founder of the MBAD African Bead Museum i
 n Detroit. Through material culture\, Dabls presents commentary on the p
 ast\, present\, and future from African and African-American perspective
 s\, with the understanding that generations of African ancestors used vi
 sual materials to convey information about their identity as well as sen
 d messages for healing and protection. Dabls is a luminary\; for decades
  he has re-imagined what a museum space can be\, accessible to everyone\
 , free from the underpinnings of colonialism and the Western\, often whi
 te\, frame. *Grand Vision* includes a conceptual installation in the Gal
 lery\, presenting Dabls’s own work in visual conversation with African
  beads and artifacts from Dabls’s Bead Museum collections. Additionall
 y\, Dabls’s iconic outdoor sculpture *Iron Teaching Rocks Table Manner
 s* will be installed on the U-M campus grounds near UMMA\, at the inters
 ection of State Street and South University from September 17- October 1
 1\, 2026. The project’s range intends to more fully articulate the man
 y facets of Dabls’ creative practice\, and the overlay of art\, histor
 y\, identity\, community\, and healing.\n\nMore info: https://events.umi
