Coup D’état is pleased to present “Hand Me Downs” by Majesty Hope Majesty Hope Bland, her debut solo exhibition exploring the life cycle of clothing as a resource for community, memory + importance of craftsmanship, opening to the public on Sunday, September 13th at 1 pm.
Clothing holds intimate memories that transcend across different communities + bring people together.
“Growing up, the anticipation of waiting for a cousin to grow out of a garment was sometimes the closest thing to shopping we had. Or waiting for grandma to pass down coveted jewelry to carry on legacy and keep a loved one close. Each time a garment is passed down a memory is added, a bond between previous owners is formed and a piece of clothing continues to serve its purpose. It builds and strengthens our community by allowing us access to give and be of service to others while also using the resources around us. The simplest thing that we can do is to be of service to others in any way that we can. Whether it be a physical resource, sharing time, or emotional support, leaning on community is a survival tactic that will forever be sustained by the power of the unification of people and we need that now more than ever.” — Majesty Hope
