salt 17: Adama Delphine Fawundu
This exhibition is on view September 13, 2025–June 14, 2026. Visit umfa.utah.edu for Museum hours.
Adama Delphine Fawundu is a New York-based artist of Mende, Krim, Bamileke, and Bubi descent. Her practice embodies ancestral memory across space and time, reconnecting places, objects, plants, animals, and spirits of the global African diaspora.
The works in this exhibition were made with a process that Fawundu calls “kpoto patchwok,” a combination of the Mende word for gathering fruits and nuts for communal nourishment (kpoto) and the Krio word for piecing together textiles (patchwok). By drawing together materials from Congo, Brazil, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Malta, Cuba, and the United States, Fawundu stitches together a collective history of the African diaspora that imagines a more interconnected future. Her work is displayed in conversation with objects from the UMFA’s African art collection, which were selected by the artist for their resonance with her practice.

Embodying the notion that music is an affirmation in a time of violence and resistance, Kurbasy channels contemporary connections to an archaic past with its time bending Songs of the Ukrainian Forest. An avant-garde musical project, the duo’s folk-based multimedia performances vibrate in tight vocal harmonies, resonant lyrics, distinctive instrumentation, and phantasmagoric visual imagery. Born out of the renowned, progressive Les Kurbas Theatre in Lviv, Ukraine, the group has performed across the world – from the front lines of occupied Ukraine to celebrated concert halls in the West.

Cindi Textor, Associate Professor in the Department of World Languages and Cultures at the University of Utah, will give a public talk this spring drawing from her research on transnational Japan. Her scholarship examines Japan not as an isolated culture, but as a site where ideas and empires meet, focusing especially on the enduring legacies of Japanese imperialism and its intersections with American and other western empires. Her first book, Intersectional Incoherence: Zainichi Literature and the Ethics of Illegibility (University of California Press, 2024), analyzes moments of incoherence and unintelligibility in the work of Koreans in Japan, challenging conventional approaches to literary representation. She is now at work on a second book that explores how modern Japan has engaged with and reconfigured white supremacist ideology, often through processes of translation. This new project argues that, even in a population largely considered non-white, white supremacy can operate and thrive when whiteness…

Presented with 801 Salon
Our Stage Door series continues this season with Little Moon, an indie folk rock band from Springville, UT that won the NPR Tiny Desk Contest in 2023. Little Moon is the project (and childhood nickname) of singer-songwriter Emma Hardyman. Her soaring vocals and rich arrangements are hallmarks of a sound that falls somewhere between a Zelda soundtrack and Vashti Bunyan. In this immersive concert experience, she’s joined by Bly Wallentine, Bridget Jackson, Chris Shemwell, Grace Johnson, and Nathan Hardyman. As SLUG Magazine put it, “Little Moon is like a warm hug from a good friend or feeling the sunlight blush your face.... pure emotional processing and ecstasy.”
Our presenting partner 801 Salon is a multidisciplinary art and performance series founded in 2021. They present pop-up exhibits and performances around Salt Lake City, providing an accessible, inclusive, and sustainable platform for emerging and established local artists.

Our Stage Door series continues this season with Little Moon, an indie folk rock band from Springville, UT that won the NPR Tiny Desk Contest in 2023. Little Moon is the project (and childhood nickname) of singer-songwriter Emma Hardyman. Her soaring vocals and rich arrangements are hallmarks of a sound that falls somewhere between a Zelda soundtrack and Vashti Bunyan. In this immersive concert experience, she’s joined by Bly Wallentine, Bridget Jackson, Chris Shemwell, Grace Johnson, and Nathan Hardyman. As SLUG Magazine put it, “Little Moon is like a warm hug from a good friend or feeling the sunlight blush your face.... pure emotional processing and ecstasy.”
Our presenting partner 801 Salon is a multidisciplinary art and performance series founded in 2021. They present pop-up exhibits and performances around Salt Lake City, providing an accessible, inclusive, and sustainable platform for emerging and established local artists.

Adama Delphine Fawundu is a New York-based artist of Mende, Krim, Bamileke, and Bubi descent. Her practice embodies ancestral memory across space and time, reconnecting places, objects, plants, animals, and spirits of the global African diaspora.
The works in this exhibition were made with a process that Fawundu calls “kpoto patchwok,” a combination of the Mende word for gathering fruits and nuts for communal nourishment (kpoto) and the Krio word for piecing together textiles (patchwok). By drawing together materials from Congo, Brazil, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Malta, Cuba, and the United States, Fawundu stitches together a collective history of the African diaspora that imagines a more interconnected future. Her work is displayed in conversation with objects from the UMFA’s African art collection, which were selected by the artist for their resonance with her practice.

A record number of universities have recently announced—by either adopting a policy or affirming the principles of institutional neutrality—that they will stay silent on social and political controversies. Several states, including Utah, have forced their public universities to adopt policies of institutional neutrality.
Proponents of institutional neutrality argue that it is an essential condition of academic freedom because university statements on issues of the day chill the speech of faculty and students with dissenting views. Opponents contend that institutional neutrality is used to selectively punish and shut down speech as well as to mask inherently value-laden institutional decisions (such as investment decisions).
U.S. universities have navigated unprecedented changes under the Trump administration, which has expanded Title VI oversight; sought to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives; revoked student visas and sought to deport students; increased taxes on university end…

In partnership with the University of Utah Department of Film & Media Arts, the UMFA is excited to host a special screening of Northern Lights (1978), the critically acclaimed film directed by John Hanson and Rob Nilsson.
Winner of the 1979 Camera d'Or, Northern Lights, a unique work of political cinema from the late 1970s, dramatizes small North Dakotan wheat farmers' political struggle against the bankers and railroad magnates pushing them into bankruptcy. Two young lovers get swept up in the turmoil surrounding the formation of the populist Nonpartisan League in the mid-1910's. Shot on location in black-and-white 16mm with a cast of nonprofessional actors, this deeply moving, politically committed film is a masterpiece of American independent cinema. The 4K digital restoration of Northern Lights was created by IndieCollect and Metropolis Post in collaboration with directors John Hanson and Rob Nilsson.
Following the screening, join us for a post-film discussion with special guest Alex…

Adama Delphine Fawundu is a New York-based artist of Mende, Krim, Bamileke, and Bubi descent. Her practice embodies ancestral memory across space and time, reconnecting places, objects, plants, animals, and spirits of the global African diaspora.
The works in this exhibition were made with a process that Fawundu calls “kpoto patchwok,” a combination of the Mende word for gathering fruits and nuts for communal nourishment (kpoto) and the Krio word for piecing together textiles (patchwok). By drawing together materials from Congo, Brazil, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Malta, Cuba, and the United States, Fawundu stitches together a collective history of the African diaspora that imagines a more interconnected future. Her work is displayed in conversation with objects from the UMFA’s African art collection, which were selected by the artist for their resonance with her practice.

Storytime for Families
Every First Wednesday | 11:00–11:30 | Free
Looking for a free family activity in Salt Lake City? Admission to the Utah Museum of Fine Arts is always free every first Wednesday of the month, and now the day is extra special. Bring your youngest art appreciators to the UMFA for storytime, fine art, and hands-on activities in the galleries!
Gather in the Museum lobby and follow arts educators into the galleries to explore unique works of art, read a story, and create a simple, kid-friendly art project inspired by the art on view and the story! There will be new stories and activities every month, so we hope you’ll join us for a new “once upon a time” every first Wednesday.

Adama Delphine Fawundu is a New York-based artist of Mende, Krim, Bamileke, and Bubi descent. Her practice embodies ancestral memory across space and time, reconnecting places, objects, plants, animals, and spirits of the global African diaspora.
The works in this exhibition were made with a process that Fawundu calls “kpoto patchwok,” a combination of the Mende word for gathering fruits and nuts for communal nourishment (kpoto) and the Krio word for piecing together textiles (patchwok). By drawing together materials from Congo, Brazil, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Malta, Cuba, and the United States, Fawundu stitches together a collective history of the African diaspora that imagines a more interconnected future. Her work is displayed in conversation with objects from the UMFA’s African art collection, which were selected by the artist for their resonance with her practice.

By drawing together materials from Congo, Brazil, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Malta, Cuba, and the United States, Fawundu stitches together a collective history of the African diaspora that imagines a more interconnected future. Her work is displayed in conversation with objects from the UMFA’s African art collection, which were selected by the artist for their resonance with her practice.
