CRITIC’S PICK: Two exhibitions are underway at MOCA in Atlanta until mid-October. The first, Under Her Canopy, presents the work of Ato Ribeiro, described in a press release as a multidisciplinary artist working in a variety of media including sculptural installation, drawing, and printmaking. Originally from Ghana and now based in Georgia, Ribeiro says these works are “a collection of stories, fragmented and fused together with room for the addition of narratives to come. This exhibition also celebrates the many ways that women — within my family and beyond — continue to enable and inspire my creative practice.” Studio Apprentices features works by Hannah Ehrlich, Chakura Kineard, Derrick Phillips and Parker Thornton, up-and-coming artists from the MOCA 2021/2022 Working Artist Project. The WAP apprenticeship allows established artists, or fellows, to mentor emerging artists over the course of a year, “creating partnerships in which both mentors and mentees can benefit from sharing knowledge, skills, ideas, experience, and the potential for creative collaboration.” — Kevin C. Madigan
From the venue:
“Marking the 20th anniversary of my relocation to Atlanta from Accra, Under Her Canopy serves as a reflection of the people, the histories, and the cultural fabrics that I continue to learn from and share in. These works are a collection of stories, fragmented and fused together with room for the addition of narratives to come. This exhibition also celebrates the many ways that women—within my family, and beyond—continue to enable and inspire my creative practice. This assemblage of histories pays homage to my great (x3) grandmother Priscilla (Marshall) Young, interactions with griots and my desire to share space and stories with Madan Sara in Haiti. The materials that make up these works are the same ones that make up the hard and soft woods hidden behind white gallery walls. Here, they are optimistic for the future because they know from whence they came.”
