Alum Bryana Bibbs’s Exhibition Covered by New City

School of the Art Institute of Chicago alum Bryana Bibbs (BFA 2014) is the focus of recent coverage by Newcity for her solo exhibition, two hundred and fifty-one days, now on view at the Chicago Cultural Center. The review highlights how Bibbs transforms personal grief into woven records of memory through textiles, monoprints, and found objects. The exhibition reflects on the 251 days between the passing of her grandparents, reconstructing their shared home through intimate, tactile works. The exhibition’s logo, designed by SAIC Lecturer Tanner Woodford, carries deep personal meaning, inspired by the font on her grandmother’s urn. As Bibbs’ work gains critical recognition, two hundred and fifty-one days stands as a powerful meditation on grief, inheritance, and transformation.
