The exhibition—co-curated by professor and design historian Sebastian Grant and Barbara Paris Gifford, the museum’s senior curator of contemporary art, craft, and design—will feature over 150 works, separated into three thematic sections. One section traces Fletcher’s formative years and early experimentations; another touches on her current artistic explorations. Highlights include a 2013 sculptural shell cuff, and a 2012 necklace made of 18-karat gold-plated brass, cowrie shells, gold-filled chain, and wire.

The third section features designs made for Hollywood: In addition to Black Panther and Wakanda Forever, Fletcher has also outfitted characters in Coming 2 America, and the 2016 Roots miniseries, among other projects. On view is the full tribal council look worn by Ramonda (Angela Bassett) in Black Panther, including a necklace and dress ornament made of 18-karat gold-plated copper, aluminum, pyrite, and amethyst. Another eye-catching design is a signature Okoye (Danai Gurira) look, featuring a necklace and armor made of 18-karat gold-plated copper, brass Ghanaian beads, and leather.
