Fashion Designer Grace Wales Bonner Curates MoMA Exhibition

The 'Spirit Movers' exhibition, exploring sound translation in art, marks a new artistic venture for the Afro-Atlantic fashion influencer.

Grace Wales Bonner, an influential fashion designer known for her Afro-Atlantic approach, has curated an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
The exhibition, titled 'Spirit Movers', includes over 40 works from the MoMA's collection and explores how sound can be translated into different mediums.
Wales Bonner's fashion brand, started in 2015, intertwines traditional African craft techniques with references to figures like Haile Selassie, James Baldwin, and Theaster Gates.
She has an ongoing partnership with Adidas and has designed uniforms for the Jamaican men and women’s soccer teams.
Despite her success in fashion, Wales Bonner sees her research as an artistic practice and enjoys curating due to its different timeline to fashion.
