Project Room No. 1: Karmimadeebora McMillan

Karmimadeebora McMillan, "Ms. Merri Mack" (installation detail)

This exhibition introduces the Mills Gallery Project Room Exhibition Series. BCA Studio Resident Karmimadeebora McMillan will be the first artist in residence to exhibit in the Project Room.

The protagonist in artist Karmimadeebora McMillan’s exhibition is Ms. Merri Mack, whose name comes from a character in a nursery rhyme sung by enslaved children.
