Diedrick Brackens: lights at the end of the world

The Baltimore Museum of Art presents handwoven tapestries by Diedrick Brackens that combine influences from European tapestry making, American quilting, and West African weaving. His works explore themes of freedom, intimacy, and resilience through recurring motifs of horses, light, and domestic spaces. The exhibition incorporates newly commissioned poetry by Joël Díaz, highlighting narratives of labor, movement, and personal history.
