Picked up indeed. She and her work, a hybrid of mediums that centers women of color as protagonists and explores how generational traumas inform present-day experiences, have taken major cities by storm. Last summer, two of her large-scale murals emblazoned buildings in Brooklyn and the Bronx. \u201cGenerations,\u201d her solo show at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, opened in November. This spring, \u201cAll Put Together\u201d bows at Praise Shadows Art Gallery nearby; it\u2019s a continuation of Metaferia\u2019s By Way of Revolution series, focusing on the overlooked yet vital role of Black female activism. The exhibit consists of text-based installation, video, live performance, and collage, the latter featuring such portraits as Black Lives Matter\u2019s Megan Castillo and Resistance Revival Chorus\u2019s Zakiyah Ansari with \u201ccrowns\u201d made from Black Panther newspaper archives, the women essentially wearing their histories on their heads. \u201cI\u2019m hoping,\u201d adds Metaferia, who\u2019s also an assistant professor in Brown University\u2019s visual art department, \u201cthis work can document more than a moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-src=\"https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Interior-Design-Helina-Metaferia-idx220201_dw02-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"The interdisciplinary artist in her New York studio at Silver Art Projects, where she\u2019s in residency.
