Making Meaning: Craft, Culture and the Black Aesthetic Showcase & Convo

Making Meaning is an intimate conversation that explores design through the lens of furniture, textiles, and cultural memory. Featuring Aishah Rashied Hyman, the founder of Boddo, an emerging textile brand weaving together heritage and contemporary design and niCo Robinson, founder of House of Nambili furniture studio which crafts sculptural works that hold space and intention. Together, these visionaries reflect on how design in the Black home—both past and present—functions as a site of creativity, resistance, identity, and care. The conversation will focus on aesthetics, as well as values: what we hold, what we shape, and what we pass on.

The Design Showcase takes place on the 2nd Floor of the Hammonds House from 12 PM - 6:00 PM. The conversation begins at 7:00 PM. This event is free with registration. Hammonds House Museum entrance fees are required.
