Ambassadors for Black Art are invited to a private reception and artist-led tour of Vickie Pierre: The Maiden is The Warrior, currently on view at Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami.
Vickie Pierre: The Maiden is The Warrior is the first solo exhibition by Brooklyn-born, South Florida-based artist Vickie Pierre. Curated by Adeze Wilford, the Blackmon Perry Curator of African American Art & Art of the African Diaspora at the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, the exhibition presents more than 40 works—spanning paper collages, paintings, and immersive installations—that collectively reflect Pierre’s innovative use of found objects and her fluid approach to abstraction and figuration. Pierre’s artistic practice is a vivid exploration of memory, transformation, and identity, rooted in her Haitian heritage and the material culture that surrounds her.
