Chakaia Booker’s Discarded Memories occupies a central space in the UMFA’s global contemporary art collection. Booker slices, twists, weaves, and rivets discarded tires to create radical patterns that are akin to African textiles and body decoration. The forms reflect the wear and tear of life, while also critiquing the industrialization, consumer culture, urban waste, and environmental concerns that are at the forefront of the 21st century.
Explore the question ‘Can repurposed material retain a memory of its previous function?’ Explore the UMFA galleries, then create a standing sculpture inspired by Discarded Memories using rubber, felt, and wood.

Third Saturday for families: Word Art
Looking for a free family activity in Salt Lake City? Look no further than the Utah Museum of Fine Arts! Admission to the Museum is free every third Saturday of the month, and there is always an art-making activity for the whole family. This Third Saturday you’ll create your own text-based art.
The UMFA is honored to currently have Hank Willis Thomas’s Pitch Blackness / Off Whiteness on loan from Art Bridges Foundation. This incredible neon artwork is on view in the lobby and is one of the first things you see when you enter the Museum. Thomas’s neon artworks use wordplay to spark questions about the construction of language and how it shapes our perceptions of race and society. Pitch Blackness / Off Whiteness turns the adjectives “off-white” and “pitch-black” into the nouns “whiteness” and “blackness.”
Get inspiration from this work of neon letters as well as other text-based art in the Museum, then head to the classroom to create your own word art on canvas!
