She Fell Into the Giving Sky

She Fell into the Giving Sky is rooted in a dreamscape artist Aliyah Bonnette calls The Giving—a place where a woman meets her ancestors and begins to uncover the gods and goddesses that have always lived within her. It’s a space where past, present, and spirit all exist at once. Through this work, the layers of Black womanhood— identity, history, and the powerful, often hidden, parts of personhood that are waiting to be remembered are revealed.
The sky in this story isn’t just a background—it’s where she came from and where she’s headed. Falling into it is a return. A homecoming. A rising.
This show brings together Bonnette’s multi-faceted practice including painted quilts, handmade paper, and printmaking. All emphasizing storytelling through texture. These materials are deeply personal holding the artist’s memory, labor, and love including fabrics from her late grandmother, whose hands guide much of what she does.
The Giving is about what’s passed down. It’s about listening to those quiet voices that tell us we’re more than what we’ve been taught. It’s about reclaiming softness, power, vulnerability, and truth.
