Digi Chivetta, Artist
https://www.facebook.com/digichivetta
You'll often hear Digi described as a multidisciplinary artist and writer. In her Yoruba Orisa culture, however, her title is more concise. She is known as a Griot. There was no limit to the media that a Griot can master to bring their ancestors' stories alive for audiences. More than hereditary, a Griot's stories are written in their blood. Their DNA is an intricate sigil containing the tracks of their ancestors. Griots are believed to be born to relay messages to the world in a way that only their unique incarnation can. No matter what the Griot's environment, they'll have a strong compulsion to tell the stories written in their blood.
About the exhibition: The exhibition will the result of a residency which is a collaboration between the artist collective WHEREAREALLTHEBLACKPEOPLE AT & the Fitchburg Art Museum. Seven artists will be responding to the African art collection at FAM.
For the opening of the exhibit, I’ll be transforming the lobby into a pop-up shop full of exclusive merchandise and original artwork by the artists in the show. I’ll also be performing an Egùngùn masquerade dance at the opening. After my dance, my costume will become part of the exhibition
