Two Museums and 40 Years of Favorite

The bio of artist, author and teacher Malaika Favorite is pages long, an impressive catalogue of exhibits, collections, books and commissions. 

What cannot be extrapolated from Favorite’s written bio is her visual 
biography – the work itself; discreetly abstract paintings with a raw boldness 
that gives life to the history her work interprets. 


Now, in a unique double-museum exhibit, Favorite’s life’s work 
can be seen on the walls during Retrospective of a Hardback Woman. 


WHAT: Malaika Favorite: Retrospective of a Hardback Woman: 1970 – 2010
WHERE: Paine College Collins-Calloway Library The Lucy Craft Laney Museum of Black History
