Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Presents: Paper Stories, Layered Dreams, the Art of Euka Holmes
A lifelong resident of Boston’s Roxbury neighborhood, Ekua Holmes (b. 1955) is an artist and community activist whose body of work explores themes of childhood, family bonds, memory, and resilience. This exhibition focuses on her award-winning children’s book illustrations—vibrant collages revealing stories of self-determination, love, and community that reflect the artist’s distinctive vision and commitment to Black imagery and representation. The more than 40 works on view include original illustrations from Holmes’s published book projects and features a selection of Holmes’s luminous illustrations for the recently released book Saving American Beach (2021), as well as a selection of her independent work, including portrait installation pieces. Led by Meghan Melvin, Jean S. and Frederic A. Sharf Curator of Design in the Department of Prints and Drawings
