The Facade Commission: Jeffrey Gibson at The Met presents a dynamic public art installation by artist Jeffrey Gibson, which reimagines the museum’s facade through a striking fusion of Indigenous cultural symbols and contemporary artistic practices. This installation, the result of a collaboration between The Met and the artist, explores themes of identity, culture, and visibility in the modern world.
