Sarah Lewis Instagram – Congratulations to my dear Andrea Achi, the mastermind curator behind a truly historic exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum about the true role of Africa as an artistic, economic, and cultural force in the ancient world. Her stunning feat—the Africa and Byzantium exhibition—shows what is possible when we commit to telling the full story of who we are and who we have been.
Sweet bonus: I’ve never been in a show of ancient art that focused as much on love—what it takes, what makes it possible. In the end, what matters is the depth of love: how you show it, if you trust it, and what you do to let it bloom all around. It’s the only force that can trespass worlds, after all, and it traveled across centuries that day at the Met.
Andrea, you have done it, with vision, joy, humility, and tenacity. 🤍🤍
Congratulations again! “Bright as the sun” indeed.
