Overview
Join us for an exciting artist lecture and dialogue with artist Akea Brionne and Graham Curatorial Fellow Katy Kim on Brionne’s first solo museum exhibition, Akea Brionne: A Dreaming Hour.
Based in Metro Detroit, Akea Brionne works at the intersection of lens and fiber-based media. Through observations focusing on the African Diaspora, Brionne utilizes emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and digital weaving, to translate surreal compositions into multidimensional tapestries adorned with glitter, oil pastels, and rhinestones.
Akea Brionne holds an MFA in Photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Akea Brionne: A Dreaming Hour is the fourth installment of Cranbrook Art Museum’s Fresh Paint series, which highlights recent work by Detroit-area contemporary artists.
