✨ Now open—Diedrick Brackens: lights at the end of the world ✨ This exhibition brings together works by renowned contemporary artist Diedrick Brackens (@deedsweaves)—seen here!—that explore freedom, intimacy, and resilience, including themes connected to Maryland’s Eastern Shore. 📍 See it up close in the Contemporary Wing Rotunda & 3rd Floor. 08 Nov 2026 Taking its title from a poem by Haitian-born American writer, performer, and AIDS activist Assotto Saint, Diedrick Brackens’s “nuclear lovers” depicts two bodies with arms interwoven like the cotton yarns that form them. ⁠ ⁠ In the poem, the queer lovers declare their temporary graves in a landscape once special to them. Excavation, both physical and memorial, unearths a promise that they meant something once and will again. And artist Diedrick Brackens delivers, in a lush work of autobiography and fable. ⁠ ⁠ Get up close and contemplate “nuclear lovers” for yourself. On view with free admission. ⁠ Plan your visit at the link in bio. ⁠ ⁠ @deedsweaves ⁠ ⁠ Images: Diedrick Brackens, nuclear lovers, 2020. Photo credit: Constance Mensh. 07 Nov 2026 We are delighted to take part in Oh La La! 2026 at @ArtBasel Paris, October 23–24, with Diedrick Brackens' (@deedsweaves) "notes on piecing: the navigator," 2026. Under the artistic direction of Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, this year's edition explores the theme "Mythes et Légendes," considering myth not simply as a story from the past but as a way of inhabiting the world. Brackens' woven tapestries explore allegory and narrative through the artist's autobiography, African American and queer identity and American history, drawing on African and African American literature and poetry. Follow the Oh La La! parcours across the fair and visit us at Booth C1 through October 26. 📸: #DiedrickBrackens, "notes on piecing: the navigator", 2026 #ArtBaselParis #OhLaLa #JackShainmanGallery #JSG #JSGArtist 23 Oct 2026 Next week, say yes to the rare opportunity to learn from two Bay Area artists, Diedrick Brackens and Josh Faught, through an artist talk and experimental master class in Philadelphia.⁠ ⁠ At Tyler School of Art + Architecture, the FWM-exhibiting artists will discuss their practices and approaches to fiber, material, craft, and identity. Diedrick Brackens is an artist whose woven tapestries draw on the visual language and histories of textile traditions to explore Black and queer identity, mythology, intimacy, and belonging. Josh Faught’s multidisciplinary practice considers the intersections of craft, queer history, material culture, and personal and collective memory.⁠ ⁠ Their master class at FWM will consider how materials can embody memory, experience, and mythology. Through conversation, experimentation, and making, create your own personal elixir and learn to transform traditional and non-traditional weaving materials through mono printing, dyeing, and hand-painting techniques.⁠ ⁠ Details:⁠ ⁠ THU OCT 8 ⁠ Artist Talk: Diedrick Brackens and Josh Faught⁠ 5:30 PM ⁠ ⁠ Co-presented with FWM at Tyler School of Art in collaboration with Art History, the Queer Materials Lab, and Fiber Material Studies. ⁠ ⁠ SAT OCT 10 ⁠ Master Class: Mythology from Materials⁠ 2–5 PM ⁠ ⁠ Space is limited.

Photo credit: Constance Mensh. 29 Sep 2026 Soon, my exhibition, “lights at the end of the world,” will open at the Baltimore Museum of Art. This work, “book of dusk with moon,” represents six years of anticipation, meditation, frustration, and a host of other feelings all focused on this moment. The work draws on an array of images and ideas. It would not exist without the dedication of my studio team (Also Adrian, Miranda, and Martín) or the dedication of curator and fellow CCA alum (and Texan) Leila Grothe. 28 Sep 2026 Sunday, August 23 is the final day for both “Diedrick Brackens: gather tender night” and “Conjuring Power: Roots & Futures of Queer & Trans Movements.” Don’t miss your chance to see these visually stunning exhibitions! Stop by this weekend: galleries open Fri–Sun 11a–5p. Photos by Fiona Duong and Corey Marsau. 21 Aug 2026 If you're in the Bay Area this week, Diedrick Brackens's (@deedsweaves) "gather tender night" at @YBCA is worth the trip. See it before it closes August 23. Described by YBCA as the artist's "first solo exhibition in the Bay Area, featuring fifteen weavings created since 2020, that consider tenderness, migration, and connections with the natural world," the show's newest works explore Brackens's "impulse to arrive home—to bring things inside to rest and ruminate, inhabit space, and be cared for."

A special thank you to @leilaodesign , @dobra.gallery , and @branco.casa for their generous support in helping furnish and shape the home, and the artists for loaning their works to casa onze. — Diedrick Brackens já está instalado em uma casa onze renovada ✨ Nas últimas semanas, Diedrick deu início à sua residência de pesquisa em São Paulo, aos poucos fazendo do espaço o seu lar enquanto se habitua à cidade. Um agradecimento especial a Leilão Design, Dobra Galeria e Branco Casa pelo generoso apoio na mobília e na composição da casa, e aos artistas que gentilmente emprestaram suas obras para a casa onze. — photos: @flaviowfreire 17 Jul 2026 On view now at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (@ybca) — “Diedrick Brackens: gather tender night”. Marking his first solo show in the Bay Area, Featuring fifteen weavings created since 2020 — including three new works organized by guest curator Eungie Joo — the exhibition considers tenderness, migration, and connection with the natural world. Single and paired figures emerge among water, flora, and fauna, while the newest works turn inward, reflecting Brackens’ recent impulse to arrive home: to rest, inhabit space, and be cared for. Brackens (@deedsweaves) is a Bay Area based artist whose woven textiles move through allegory and autobiography — weaving together African American and queer identity, moments of male tenderness, and American history. Drawing on West African weaving, Southern quilting, and European tapestry traditions, Brackens hand-dyes cotton — a material he deliberately chooses in acknowledgment of its brutal history — building vibrant, intricately-constructed works that interlace the present with a singular magical realist worldview. “Diedrick Brackens: gather tender night” is on view through August 23, 2026.
