From the Deep: In the Wake of Drexciya

The Museum of Anthropology at UBC (MOA) presents the Canadian premiere of From the Deep: In the Wake of Drexciya with Ayana V. Jackson, on display from November 19, 2026–March 29, 2027. In her first major institutional exhibition, American artist Ayana V. Jackson draws inspiration from the mythic underwater world imagined by 1990s Detroit techno duo Drexciya to create a feminist, Pan-African aquatopia inhabited by water spirits from African and Afro-Atlantic traditions. Informed by Afrofuturism, this multimedia exhibition features custom mannequins adorned in original garments by contemporary African designers, striking photography installations, layered soundscapes, and evocative projections. Following its 2023 premiere at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African Art, the exhibition makes its first North American tour stop at MOA before traveling to the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit. MOA will celebrate the opening on Thursday, November 19, 2026, at 7pm. For more information and ancillary events, visit moa.ubc.ca
