Inspired by Radcliffe Bailey: Memory as Medicine, Family Day examines memory—personal and collective—as a source of inspiration in art-making. Young visitors will participate in an interactive exploration of Bailey’s work, with its vibrant colors, unusual materials, dynamic compositions, and rich narratives, followed by art projects based on appropriation, accumulation, and layering. Focusing closely on Windward Coast, an installation likened to the sea, we investigate the recurring piano keys in Bailey’s work.
