About Dreams of This Future: The Collection of Peggy Cooper Cafritz
Now at The Studio Museum in Harlem, *Dreams of This Future: The Collection of Peggy Cooper Cafritz* surveys art drawn from Cafritz’s collecting life and the networks it helped sustain. Presented as a live museum event, it situates her role as a Washington, D.C.–based patron whose holdings intersect with New York’s contemporary Black art ecology. The exhibition reads less like a private trove than a record of relationships, showing how collecting can shape what enters public view. In Harlem, that argument carries particular cultural weight.
