Mygenet T. Harris
Mygenet Tesfaye Harris is a versatile Ethio-African American Artist and Educator, who explores mediums such as painting, printmaking, fiber, and sculpture works. Her artistic journey flourished with her undergraduate/graduate studies at the MICA. One of the highlights of Mygenet's time at MICA was her curatorial internship with Curator George Ciscle for the powerful exhibition of Mother Scott’s quilts and fiberworks. Mygenet has had the opportunity to showcase her work in both local and Smithsonian museums and galleries in the DMV area. These exhibitions have provided her a platform to share her artistic voice and collaborate with fellow artists. Most recently she had a chance to study and work with profound artist Oletha DeVane which led to an exhibition of spirit sculptures here at the BMA. Mygenet has dedicated herself to teaching emerging artists for the last 26 years. As a co-coordinator and instructor for the MCPS Visual Art Center at Albert Einstein High School, she plays a crucial role in fostering aspiring young artists' growth and artistic development.
