A Vital Matters Perspective: Color in the Design of The House Was Too Small

Color in the Design of The House Was Too Small

Curator Erica Jones explains the central role of color in The House Was Too Small exhibition and Patrisse Cullor's video work. It functions not only as an aesthetic choice but also as a reflection of Yoruba cosmology, where deities are associated with both temperature and hue, embodying “cool” and “hot” energies.
