Presented by Helina Metaferia
Moderated by Michelle Millar Fisher


The family and community that precede us shape how we see the world today. From pride in identity to the effects of suffering across generations and the desire to imagine better futures, how do we process the memories and experiences we inherit? In her most recent exhibit at the MFA Boston, “Helina Metaferia: Generations” (open until April 4, 2022), interdisciplinary and research-based artist, Helina Metaferia uses collage, video, and installation to explore how we carry on the legacies of our elders, the kinship we find in our contemporaries, and the many ways these relationships inform and shape us. In this vibrant and illustration-rich presentation, Ms. Metaferia and Michelle Millar Fisher, Ronald C. and Anita L. Wornick Curator of Contemporary Decorative Arts at the MFA Boston, will discuss the exhibit, her body of work, and her creative process involving researching oral histories and archives; understanding her family history and heritage; and collaborating with communities.
