Every four years since 1963, a group of Wake Forest students have chosen artwork for the University. This year, the group focused on diversifying the collection by adding underrepresented artists and choosing works in a variety of mediums, like \u201cSummer Bloom, 2023,\u201d a weaving by Navajo textile artists Melissa Cody. The Lam\u2019s pieces are paired with this textile to provide cultural context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/prod.wp.cdn.aws.wfu.edu\/sites\/417\/2024\/09\/IMG_0199-web.jpg\" alt=\"Ndebele beaded aprons\" class=\"wp-image-11539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/prod.wp.cdn.aws.wfu.edu\/sites\/417\/2024\/09\/IMG_0199-web.jpg 250w, https:\/\/prod.wp.cdn.aws.wfu.edu\/sites\/417\/2024\/09\/IMG_0199-web-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Lam&#8217;s Ndebele apron (top) at the Gregg Museum.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In Raleigh, you will find two Lam collection objects at the <a href=\"https:\/\/gregg.arts.ncsu.edu\/\">Gregg Museum of Art and Design<\/a> at North Carolina State University. You can visit an Adrinka cloth from Ghana and Ndebele apron from South Africa in their exhibit <em><a href=\"https:\/\/gregg.arts.ncsu.edu\/exhibitions\/material-messages-the-tales-that-textiles-tell\/\">Material Messages: The Tales That Textiles Tell<\/a><\/em> through January 25, 2025. The exhibit explores how people use textiles to convey narrative. The Adinkra cloth demonstrates how time and effort can affect commerce and result in alternative production methods and aesthetics. But more significantly, its red color identifies its usage as a funerary wrapper. The beaded married woman\u2019s apron is connected to a girl\u2019s beaded Ndebele apron from the Gregg\u2019s collection. This pairing highlights not only how different aprons visually identify the life stages of Ndebele females but also the visual culture and beading techniques unique to the Ndebele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/prod.wp.cdn.aws.wfu.edu\/sites\/417\/2024\/09\/Objects-at-Disney-web.png\" alt=\"exhibit case with multiple objects\" class=\"wp-image-11542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/prod.wp.cdn.aws.wfu.edu\/sites\/417\/2024\/09\/Objects-at-Disney-web.png 250w, https:\/\/prod.wp.cdn.aws.wfu.edu\/sites\/417\/2024\/09\/Objects-at-Disney-web-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Lam&#8217;s Tuareg saddle at Epcot&#8217;s Morocco pavilion.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally, the Lam Museum has a long-standing relationship with the curators at <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/destinations\/epcot\/\">Epcot Center<\/a>.
