Danielle Mckinney: Tell Me More (solo show)
Rose Art Museum, Waltham
20 August 2025 – 4 January 2026
Danielle McKinney’s first institutional solo exhibition in the United States, Danielle Mckinney: Tell Me More, is on view at the Rose Art Museum, Waltham. The presentation features thirteen intimate paintings, including two new works, that portray the interior lives of Black women. Drawing from art historical traditions of figurative painting while upending their colonial and patriarchal gazes, Mckinney reclaims and reframes the odalisque motif. The exhibition offers a tantalising entry point into the intimate world of an artist whose powerful vision of Black femininity is expansive, contemplative, and defiantly unhurried.
The landmark presentation is organised in conjunction with Mckinney’s 2025 Ruth Ann and Nathan Perlmutter Artist-in-Residence Award at the Rose. The exhibition is curated by Dr. Gannit Ankori, Henry and Lois Foster Director and Chief Curator, Rose Art Museum, and Professor of Fine Arts and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Brandeis University.

Danielle Mckinney x Dior
For the ninth iteration of Dior’s Lady Art project, Danielle Mckinney has put her own spin on the fashion house’s iconic Lady Dior bag. Inspired by moments of quiet introspection, Mckinney’s design features a hand-embroidered silhouette of a woman. Cocooned in her coat, the subject is visited by a butterfly, which is used to convey the ‘flight of imagination.’
